This book by International Grand Master Yasser Seirawan provides a
move-by-move account of the best chess games of the last 25 years,
played by the world's foremost chess competitors. With an authoritative
voice that is by turns poetic and analytical, Seirawan serves as host of
a fascinating excursion of the most brilliant chess game, providing
highlights into and explanations of each and every move. Seirawan begins
each game with a description of the historical atmosphere of the chess
world --and sometimes the world at large--at the time the game was
played. When he delves into the game itself, he starts with the
reasoning behind the opening moves. From there he provides both a
play-by-play description of the game and an analytical commentary, all
the while examining the moves in terms of place development and possible
tactical and strategic opportunities. Along the way, a handful of the
players are profiled in biographies. In Winning Chess Brilliancies
readers will get a taste of the most dazzling chess combinations devious
strategies, and downright cruel blows as world champions risk it all!
This book is truly a celebration of the sport of chess.
