The last in the Annotated Series of games and articles from the senior Chess World editor. The largest of the books. Not only practical and teachable, the games offer excellent examples of master play from a different part of the world--a world very much appreciated by Purdy.

A translation from Russian to English of one of the greatest chess grandmasters in the world, in the second half of the 20th century. Nezhmetdinov was more than a giant killer, he produced some games of genius-like creativity. Only once in awhile does a true chess assassin come forward, a player of great imagination, ability, and fearlessness. Nezhmetdinov was one in a very elite group. His method was: ATTACK... ATTACK... ATTACK.
