Four-time US Champion Yasser Seirawan provides an engaging account of his games and interactions with the world champions of chess: celebrated figures including Garry Kasparov, Anatoly Karpov, Bobby Fischer, Boris Spassky, Tigran Petrosian, Mikhail Tal, Vassily Smyslov, Mikhail Botvinnik and Max Euwe. 
Having been involved in frequent battles against world champions over a 25 year period, Seirawan is in an ideal position to describe what it’s really like staring across the chessboard at a true legend. In this book he covers his most memorable encounters in detail – his famous wins and painful losses against the best players on the planet. 
Seirawan’s substantial involvement in off-the-board chess activities over the years has also led to much communication and dealings with world champions, and here Seirawan recounts for the first time many stories involving these giants of chess, helping to paint a picture of their personalities and revealing their many different dimensions.

Explore the unique and confusing chess of Canadian Grandmaster Duncan Suttles In this, the second volume of a three-volume series, over 200 games of Canadian Grandmaster Duncan Suttles are analysed in depth. This volume features games which begin with the "A" category of openings, using the opening classification system popularized by the Encyclopedia of Chess Openings. Classifying Suttles' openings is no easy task. The reader will find many games described as "Unnamed Opening", which have in common only the signature first move 1.g3. The opaque intricacies of the "Suttles System" are explored in this volume, along with many epic games starting with the English Opening, which Suttles played for White and faced as Black. Many of Suttles' attacking ideas from the Closed Sicilian (coming in Volume 3) are seen here. Another important series of games for the serious student are the "Rats" (1...g6) where White foregoes an immediate attack and proceeds more positionally with 3.c4. The Strategic plans and tactics Suttles devised in this opening are as valid today as when they were played. Most of all, this volume features many hard-fought, uncompromising and confusing games by one of the most original and fearless Grandmasters to have played the Royal Game.

 For much of his career, Suttles played 1.e4, and in this volume examines his unique approaches to the Alekhine's, Caro-Kann, French and Sicilian Defenses. The reader will discover new possibilities in the advanced variations against the Caro-Kann and French, learn to fear the Portland Attack (although for which side might be in doubt), and will fond a gold mine of ideas in the Closed Sicilian. 
 As Black, Suttles was an unwavering proponent of 1...g6, and devotees of this opening will find many "Rat" and Pirc Defenses, including games against some of the world's top players. Suttles didn't play favorites! He played fearless chess, and the final volume of his game collection contains its full quota of dramatic, intense struggles.
