5.0 out of 5 stars
A fitting tribute to the Crown Prince of Chess,
By A Customer
This review is from: Paul Keres: The Quest for Perfection (New American Batsford Chess Library) (Paperback)
Even in this age of 2700+ grandmasters, the games of Paul Keres retain their excitement and freshness. John Nunn has done a wonderful job of adding additional analysis to Keres's original comments, as well as giving us the later games Keres had not included in his Chess autobiography. 37 years in the Top 10 of Chess, four-time second-place winner in Candidates' Tournaments (yes, it's heart-rending) - there can be no doubt that Paul Keres was one of the giants of the game. Any chess player from, say, 1500 to GM cannot fail to benefit from this book. Why only 9? I would have liked photos! My only caveat, and a niggling one at that.

Practical book for the tournament player,
By neocog "neocog" (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Paul Keres: The Quest for Perfection (New American Batsford Chess Library) (Paperback)
This book and its companion are an excellent competition to .....Like a Grandmaster series. I read the ....grandmaster series when I was preparing for my competitions. This book is far realistic in terms of what to expect and the mental preparation for the tournament. It is much closer to reality than the Grandmaster series which is written in an idealistic way.
