Nunn & Griffiths: Secrets of Grandmaster Play Monomaniacal study of this book upped my rating from BCF 126 to 169. The book's intended as "deep and careful analysis...to instruct players of many different levels" and I trust anyone who plays through this collection will regard it as an inducement to get hold of the book rather than a substitute for it. It's a collection of 24 thrilling games annotated in such detail that I needed at least 3 hours to play through each one, and only by doing this can you derive the benefit intended. 24 games, 1974-1985 Spassky: Getting out of Reykjavik It has been said that many of Bobby Fischer's opponents were never the same players again. Ahead of Boris Spassky lay many years as a leading master, and successful battles on and off the board that showed true strength in adversity. 38 games, 1972-2001
