Kurzbeschreibung
Garry Kasparov has dominated the world of competitive chess for longer than any world champion. The period 1993-1999 represents one of the richest phases in his career. With the announcement of his retirement, it is only appropriate that the games should now be appreciated in the greatest depth possible. Earlier games are analyzed with computer assistance for the first time - sometimes revealing blemishes in existing analysis - showing the richness of thought and the supreme versatility of the player many consider to be the greatest of all time. Particular emphasis is placed on evaluations of the openings chosen and statistics on the champion's record against his most fiercely competitive rivals. The author, International Master Tibor Karolyi, who played against Kasparov as a World Junior, gives an appreciation of an undoubted genius - this is an unashamed celebration of dynamism, diligence, desire and fighting chess.

Fight and Learn!
15. April 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
If you don't know who Gary Kasparov is, you can't be very serious about chess. Assuming that you love Chess and are interested in playing over beautiful and instructive games then here's the short answer: Buy this book! Actually, buy both of them! Both of these volumes, Vol 1, 1993-1998 and Vol 2 1999-2005 of Kasparov's Fighting Chess are magnificent. Light reading they are not, but what they are is this: Helping you get inside the head of the greatest Chess Player who ever lived. Warning: the games are complex and the notes are even more so. But, if you stay with them and actually play thru the sub variations you will be having fun and raising the level of you own game at the same time. Find out when and where Kasparov is willing to sacrifice a pawn for the initiative and when he decides to snatch material and defend. "Why did he play that?" Find out why and learn better chess for yourself. These games have almost every available word ever written about them by Kasparov himself, excellently supplemented by other commentator's thoughts and rounded out by computer discoveries where they are warranted. You may be shocked at how many times Gary was simply wrong about the essence of a position. This shows how deep the game of chess really is. Happily with a genius like Kasparov, ALL of the games, even the ones where he showed he was human have value. Put in the effort, struggle with these subtle and complex ideas, fight the fight (with Gary at your side) and watch what happens to your own understanding and enjoyment of the game of Chess.

Complementary to Igor Stohl's Kasparov's greatest games.
12. März 2007
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Concerning Garry Kasparov's greatest games, of course the best ones are the two volumes by Igor Stohl. But one thing ahout that are the games chosen are just two few. Some games of importance though may not instructive or " brilliant", anyway I think should be included. The two volumes mentioned above include say,take for example, just one game from the match, PCA K vs Anand, but I think should be more. The current two volumes, " fighting chess*, 1993 to 1998, 1999 -2005 fill this gaps at least the period from 1993 to K's retirement. But one thing I don't like is that two many fragmented games are included whereas for our readers, we like the complete games!! The anaylsis are alright though not to such a depth compared with the ones by Igor Stohl.

Others making money with Kasparov...
19. September 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
DON'T BUY THIS BOOK !!!
The two authors just cite Kasparovs' analysis out of Informator, New-In-Chess et al. and have run the games through their computer. Their only contribution to Kasparovs games is a ridiculous amount of computer-variations which is completely boring to play through.
Anybody with a strong computer program can do this himself, so there is really no use to buy this book (or the companion book) by two completely unknown authors.
Kasparov is right now publishing his own analysis of his games and I recommend to buy his books ('Kasparov on Modern Chess' series).
BTW the two (criminal) authors of this book want to capitalize on Kasparov's 'Predecessor'-series as well as they have announced a new book for 2009 with the title 'Where his Predecessors have mislead Kasparov in Chess'.
Obviously they think they can make good money with Kasparov, but...
DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!!!
Update on my review:
... maybe sb will find it interesting that there is not one single game to be found from the Kasparov-Kramnik match in 2000 where Kasparov lost his World Champion title. Actually the authors don't mention this match at all. When I first skipped through the book I thought some pages were missing, but it turned out that this wasn't the case; the authors simply don't bother to annotate any game of the match ...I wonder if maybe Kasparov didn`t write about the games himself and therefore the authors were helpless because they couldn't build on his annotations...
Anyhow, I simply ask you: how on earth can you skip a World Chess Championship title match when you write a book about a world chess champion?
