The entertaining, informative game notes make this book an excellent instruction manual. If you enjoy chess, you'll enjoy this book. Kings of Brownsville
In a classic underdog tale, the team of young players overcame all obstacles to dominate the state championships. Book Notes  In Champions of the New Millennium, three highly experienced authors present an illuminating portrait of the eighteen best chess players of the world in the 21st century with four deep annotated games per player and many full-color pictures. The Gruenfeld Indian is an active and dynamic reply to 1.d4 that can lead to complex and extremely sharp positions. So it's no wonder that GM Alexei Shirov has included this opening in his repertoire. In My Best Games in the Gruenfeld, Shirov extensively analyses his five black games from the Kramnik match in Cazorla in 1998 for a running time of more than five hours!

Reviews in Brief |  The Sicilian with 3.Bb5
by Alexei Shirov In The Sicilian with 3.Bb5, Shirov shares his experiences playing both sides of the 3.Bb5 system of the Sicilian Defense, also known as the Rossolimo Variation. It is a popular choice at all levels, mainly to avoid theory-laden lines such as those encountered in the Sveshnikov Variation. This is a truly outstanding production. We are treated to over seven hours of learning from one of the most creative and original players of all time. Those who follow chess history know that the player sitting across Garry Kasparov at the Classical World Chess Championship in the year 2000 should had been Shirov, and not Kramnik, whom Shirov defeated in the 1998 Candidates Match. I recommend this DVD to anyone interested in the 3.Bb5 Sicilian. Shirov's analyses are often complex, but he does not try to convince us that chess is easy. I would much rather leave a chess lecture feeling confused than incredulous. Read the full review here. | | |
