Reviews

IM Gary Lane (Australian Chess)
"A delightful celebration of a chess legend with numerous photos and well-researched annotated games. A fascinating collection of games that celebrates the life of a genuine chess star."

GM Matthew Sadler (New In Chess magazine)
“I always have a strange feeling when looking at Spassky’s career. It’s clearly ridiculous to view a player who became World Champion, was a World Championship Candidate on seven occasions (the last time in 1985 at the Montpellier Candidates tournament) and twice Soviet Champion as not quite having fulfilled his potential, but I can never shake that impression. For me, the quality of his best games is so high, and the manner of his victories so varied and versatile, that anything less than domination of his era feels like a disappointment!”
