    About this ebook

    Over the past few years the great chess player Garry Kasparov has written five 
    best-selling books praising the contributions to chess made by the previous 
    world champions. The series is called ''My Great Predecessors''. As a reaction to 
    this wonderful series of books, leading chess writer Tibor Károlyi has written this 
    imaginary sixth volume. In gently humorous – but chessically serious – style, the 
    author imagines Kasparov is annotating over 70 of his own lost games, and 
    blaming all these defeats on the bad influence of each of the previous world 
    champions, providing in-depth analysis to show how he was misled by them. 
    The book also serves as a highly instructive, practical chess book – to beat 
    Kasparov, the greatest player of all time, took some pretty special chess, and 
    readers will enjoy learning from this. It is astonishing how the author has 
    managed to find so many games that exhibit uncanny similarities between 
    Kasparov and his predecessors, which makes the content of the book extremely 
    plausible – as if Kasparov himself were writing it. This is a brilliant and totally 
    original chess book that could only have been written by someone with great 
    knowledge of Kasparov and the past world champions.
