My Great Predecessors - Volume 2
 Garry Kasparov's magnificent work is unique in chess literature: the thirteenth world champion reflects on the genius of his twelve predecessors and their opponents in their times, telling the story of the World Chess Championship competition over the past one hundred and eighty years. Classic games are subjected to Garry Kasparov's meticulous analysis, with the help of powerful computers. In this way, many of the previous assessments are changed and the author rewrites the development of the game of chess in the 19th and 20th centuries.
 This second volume of the “My Great Predecessors” series is dedicated to four world champions of the 20th century: Max Euwe, Mikhail Botvinnik, Vasily Smyslov and the legendary Mikhail Tal, the “Wizard of Riga”. Kasparov also presents the great rivals of these world champions in their time: Paul Keres, David Bronstein and Efim Geller.
