Garry Kasparov - Part One: Revolution in the 70s
Compiled by Verivus
--*--

This book is the first in a brand new series which follows on from highly-acclaimed My Great Predecessors. In this fascinating volume chess legend Garry Kasparov examines the developments in chess in the 1970s. This was an era where the approach to chess underwent a radical shift - resulting in the laying of the foundations of modern day professional chess.

During this time chess theory changed almost beyond recognition. Kasparov considers numerous different opening variations and shows how many positions were completely re-evaluated and how new ways of playing old openings were discovered. Furthermore, this revolution is described not only by Kasparov but also by many other wold class players who were at the forefront of this radical change in chess thinking.
