"This particular book is actually the fourth volume of My Great Predecessors, and the reason why I think this is a fabulous book is that it talks about - it gives Kasparov - Kasparov gives commentary by looking and looks back at previous world champions. He never did play Fischer, and so there's always - he's, in some people's minds, he was a paper champion.
A lot of the book is about analyzing games and doing a lot of chess analysis on top of reading about the history that surrounded the player. On a personal note, one reason why I've - the major reason why I've taken up chess is that I had - I was separated from my wife and I needed something to mentally exhaust me. And so that was one way I picked up chess, and it's become something that I really enjoyed over time.
This is not a book for the common person; it's totally geared toward chess players and those who are really fascinated by the game. You have great players and analyze them and what they did and what motivated them. I think that you get a better glimpse of others and yourself, so. I would give My Great Predecessors Volume 4 by Garry Kasparov a five stars. It's five stars; it's an absolute must for all chess players."
