GM Walter Browne, GM Lubomir Ftacnik and IM Dany Kopec present you in this lovely printed heavyweight, the eighteen best chess players of today.
Each of the eighteen players is introduced with a readable introduction, some creative made photographs from all stars of the new millennium, plus four deeply analysed games.
The strongest grandmasters in the world today are Anand, Kramnik, Topalov, Morozevich, Svidler, Mamedyarov, Shirov, Leko, Ivanchuk and Aronian.
The most promising youngsters in chess are at this moment: Karjakin, Carlsen, Radjabov, Wang Yue, Ponomariov and Grischuk.
Included also is the best female chess player of all time Judit Polgar plus the playing comeback man Gata Kamsky.
All together we come on a total of 72 well analysed games where Lubomir Ftacnik is responsible for the games on: Aronian, Kamsky, Ponomariov, Leko, Anand, Wang Yue, Ivanchuk and Mamedyarov.
Danny Kopec: Kramnik, Carlsen, Svidler, Morozevich and half of Polgar.
Walter Browne: Grischuk, Karjakin, Shirov, Radjabov, Topalov and half of Polgar.
The book has become a real heavy weight with it's 100 colour photos where many of them have never seen any print before.
Thirty years ago Walter Browne was one of the best players in the world too, see Best games of the young grandmasters by Pritchett & Kopec 1980, so it is very pleasant to see such a creative chess professional as author of this book,on a new generation of champions.
There is a fine index of complete games plus alphabetical index but I am missing a in this book an openings index plus bibliography.
