Produktbeschreibung
Jan Timman is one of the greatest chess players never to win the world title. Three times he was a Candidate for the World Championship and his peak in the world rankings was second place. For this collection, Timman has subjected his finest efforts to fresh analysis supported by modern technology. The result is startling and fascinating. From the games that he chose for his Timman's Selected Games (1994) only 10(!) made the cut. Some games that he had been proud of turned out to be flawed, others that he remembered as messy were actually well played. This book includes wins against greats such as Karpov, Kasparov, Kortchnoi, Smyslov, Tal, Spassky, Bronstein, Larsen and Topalov. The annotations are in the author's trademark lucid style. Once again Jan Timman shows that he is not only one of the best players the game has seen, but also as one of the best analysts and writers.
