Javier Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 ISBN: 1-901983-24-2 Year of publication: 1999 Publisher: Gambit Pages: 224 First of all, are you willing to buy a book whose title has little to do with the contents of the book and was probably chosen to reach a wider audience? I understand that sometimes the book author has no say in such matters and he only cares about the check that he will collect, but that decission makes him a puppet. This is a collection of some of Yermolinsky's games. I must admit his annotations are witty, honest and sound and will prove very useful to the practical players. Apart from the annotation of a lot of his games, the book also covers some opening variations (like one line of the sicilian defence and some ideas in the benko gambit) but as a whole, the book's structure is non-existent, material seems to have been picked at random. For these reasons, my vote for this book is 5. (Review originally posted by Javier on June 10 2002) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
