Good Value and Lots of Fun,
By A Customer
This review is from: 100 Soviet Chess Miniatures (Paperback)
I first read this book in 1972 or 1973. Seeing that it was back in print, I bought a copy last month and had just as much fun with it as I did the first time I read it. This time I went through all the games with a strong computer program. There are 100 games in this book, and there are around 300 major analytical errors, but they don't detract from the enjoyment of the games, nor from the overall high quality of the writing.

A fantastic collection of short games,
By JLP (Schaumburg, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100 Soviet Chess Miniatures (Paperback)
The games in this book are exciting and beautiful, and the annotations are informative and entertaining. The players (relatively unknown Soviet masters) rarely make obvious mistakes, and their games exhibit a very high degree of creativity and imagination. This is a charming book to have, a great addition to anyone's chess library. Many thanks to Dover Publications for an inexpensive, attractive reprint of a terrific game collection!
