In this book Ray Keene selects and annotates his most interesting games against such giants as Anatoly Karpov, Mikhail Botvinik, Mikhail Tal, Jan Timman, John Nunn, Tony Miles and Svetozar Gligoric. There is also a provocative essay on the superiority of mind sports over physical ones that is sure to arouse controversy amongst readers and reviewers alike. Originally published as a private limited edition, this book is now made available to the general public.

Raymond Keene, OBE, chess grandmaster and extensive chess correspondent caters for the library of any chess player by providing a reflective, analytical approach to his triumphant successes, those of which engage the mamoth minds of Karpov, Botvinnik and Tal.
