New York and Lyons: the two arenas of the last contest for the World Chess Championship between the two greatest names in chess today. The Champion: charismatic Garry Kasparov, the youngest ever holder of the title and possibly the greatest player in history. The Challenger: Anatoly Karpov, World Champion for 11 years before Kasparov took his crown, and the record-breaking winner of over 80 top class tournaments. Already, these two giants of the chessboard had faced each other a record 120 times in World Championship play, from the controversial unfinished marathon of 1984-5 to the nail-biting tied contest of 198?

Even Kasparov is human. This book analyses all of his major lost games up to 1990 and tries to draw common conclusions about how to defeat the very greatest. Gary Kasparov won the World Championship in 1985 and successfully defended it in 1986-1987 and 1990, 1993 and 1995.

An Opening Repertoire for the Attacking Club Player (Chess)

David Levy

Batsford

The average club or tournament player has little time for an exhaustive study of opening theory, but does need to obtain a satisfactory middle-game position. This work is intended to provide all he needs to know to reach interesting and sharp positions which offer good prospects for the imaginative player. The authors give one line against each popular variation, with particular care being taken to choose systems which will suit the attacking player's style. A parallel volume, "Chess Openings for You", is intended to be equally suited to the positional player. Grandmaster Raymond Keene has written many chess books, including "How to Play the Nimzo-Indian" (with Shaun Taulbut) and "Batsford Chess Openings" (with Gary Kasparov). International Master David Levy specializes in sharp variations, his works including "Sicilian Dragon: Classical and Levenfish Variations" and "How to Play the King's Indian Defence".
