"These two volumes contain my most memorable games of chess. Volume 1 covers the period before my early retirement and Volume 2 the period after my return to the game.
The annotations are an attempt to search for the truth and reveal the workings of a Grandmaster's mind. The introductions are designed to show the reader what I thought, felt and experienced at the time and during each game. I sometimes share my personal opinions on things like politics and my philosophy of life.
I am delighted with the support of Thinkers Publishing, and, of course, my wife without whom these volumes would probably never have materialized This is going to be my only work on chess, a subject that I feel I have learned enough about to share with you some of my knowledge." - Gata Kamsky
