## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book, but it has been superceded.
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2013*

This is an excellent book in its own right, but it has been superceded by the greatly expanded Olms Edition title, 'Anatoly Karpov  My Best Games', which gives 100 games through 2003, while this title reviews only 43 games through 1994.  It is a great games collection, with notes that are a good blend of commentary and in-depth analysis.  If you have this one already, or can get it on the cheap, it is still very worthwhile, but otherwise, definitely the Olms Edition is to be preferred.  My review of that edition is also on amazon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    First 14 moves from memory?  Really?
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2018*

The Karpov-Kasparov duels from 1984/85 are exasperating to read about.  They would play back-to-back games with the same 14 Queen's Gambit Declined moves.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Brilliant!
  

*by F***L on Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2000*

Karpov's play is rich, deep, and brilliant. In fact, I have always considered him, in some ways, to be the successor of another great---Petrosian, whose deep strategic play and sharp tactics I have  always admired. However, while the public has  recognized the richness and  depth of his play, Karpov has often been accused of being dull. This book  finally puts an end to that pernicious lie.  In this work, we see the  full brilliance of Karpov's play demonstrated---much of which, sadly  perhaps, occurred only in the latent variations of his games. Nonetheless,  there is a wealth of real brilliance in this collection---just look at his  games against Tatai, Korchnoi, and Kasparov. My Lord, Tatai-Karpov features  a positional pawn sacrifice which is later followed by a queen sacrifice:  If that is not brilliant, I don't know what is!  Anatoly Karpov's Best  Games's only flaw is that its selection of games is too limited! (Games  from Karpov's 1974 candidates matches are conspicuously absent.) Yet this  is hardly a significant flaw.  If you get the chance, purchase this  book: It is a collection of deeply annotated, richly strategic brilliancies  from one of the greatest players of all time.
