Someone at Amazon screwed up and detached my original review from this book, so I'm reproducing it below. You can find a more thorough review of this book at ChessCafe dot com, click on Archives, then Book Reviews. They are in alpha order by title.

Original review:
Although the games in this book are of course excellent games, they are available in many other sources, such as Smyslov's 125 games, Fischer's 60 memorable games, and so on. Furthermore, the author appears to have exerted remarkably little effort to analyze these games or give insightful annotations. Most of the games contain at least one other complete game, with no annotations (just a string of moves followed by 1-0) as a note. Many contain three to five complete games as notes. One contains seven complete games in the notes. These are un-annotated games, mind you: just filling space and teaching almost nothing. And the annotations that are present appear to be cribbed from other authors about half the time -- possibly more, if one searches in books I do not own.
The upshot is that, if you have a relatively small library of chess books and want to get a sampling of these great players, this would probably be a three-star book. You'd be better off getting a games collection from any one of these players, especially the self-annotated collections by Smyslov, Fischer, or Anand, but if you bought this book and studied it you probably wouldn't hate yourself. By contrast, if you have a fairly well-developed library already, this is a one-star book; it adds almost nothing you don't already know. Average: two stars.
