Quotes from Garry Kasparov on My Great Predecessors, part 1. "...probably the most enjoyable chess book I have ever read."--Nigel Short, The Sunday Telegraph "Garry has gone where no champion has gone before. And he has gone there with an open mind and inquiring intellect."--Hanon Russell, ChessCafe.com "...the immediate impression is of a landmark publication."--John Saunders, British Chess Magazine '...the broad sweep of the book is majestic and Kasparov's chess genius is apparent in his critical review of the games given in the book and, in particular, his appreciation of the ebb and flow of the world championship matches.' - British Chess Federation '...the most important chess book ever to appear since Bobby Fischer's My 60 Memorable Games, three decades or so ago.' - Raymond Keene, The Times '...is bound to go down as a classic of chess literature.' - Raymond Keene, Sunday Times 'The enthusiasm that Garry has for chess jumps from the pages - the whole book reads like a fast-moving thriller' 'If you haven't got the message already - this is a fantastic book. The sort of book that I will have to lock away for fear of spending too much time reading and re-reading it!' - Matthew Sadler, New In Chess
