Editorial Review Product Description The subtitle to Kramnik's book is "My Life and Games," but there is,in fact, little distinction between the two; the game has dominatedKramnik's life from the age of 5. By age 16, he was playing on theworld chess scene, and at age 25, in 2000, he is one of the fewplayers who can regularly hold his own against Kasparov. Kramnik reads less like a traditional autobiography than atranscript of 50-plus games from his career. They include key matcheswith Kasparov, Karpov, Anand, Topalov, Ivanchuk, Shirov, and othergreats, stretching back to 1984. Colorful biographical tidbits appearbetween games, offering glimpses of Kramnik's life outside chess--welearn he's a lousy cook, suffers insomnia from the pressure of thegame, and tries to stay philosophical about winning and losing. Butmost revealing are the interior dialogues that accompany his matches;they are deeply annotated.Kramnik explains exactly what was runningthrough his head as he pushed a pawn or sacrificed a queen at keypoints, and it's a marvel to watch his mind at work. His comments arenever boastful and even betray a self-effacing wit--a refreshingchange in a profession known for its outsize egos. Chess enthusiastsshould find plenty to occupy them in Kramnik and would do wellto take a page from his playbook. --Demian McLean Customer Reviews (7)
Great book, too much annoying flattery by Damsky
Totaly dissatisfied with this book
A must have
"THIS BOOK IS A MUST HAVE. I think everyone who buys this book has to understand the title its not just a book of openings.This book the world champion is telling you more about himself.If you dont like the book its kinda of your own fault.Kramnik is very straight forward about his book.The 80 games that are listed in the book are much more simplier to read than any of kaasparov's books of openings.this is because the moves are listed up and down and are better spaced out!Chess books can be boring but if you want to learn how to play chess read and look at his GAMES.I THINK your wasting your time reading the othr books.If you wanna learn how to play chess you should only get books by kramnik and fischer.It's because the moves are easier to read because its spaced out better and easier on the "eyes" When Kramnik defends his world title next january.If he beats or ties kasparov to retain his title.I think he will make a brand new book of openings.This man beat the most powerful computer ever made "Deep Fritz7".It is better than deep blue by 2 times.Deep blue beat kasparov.The people who true want to understand how to play chess openings.I STRESS you only get KRAMNIK or BOBBY FISCHER'S book.The other books are JUNK AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO READ!!!
Good Chess, BUT ... #1.) This book came out BEFORE Kramnik won the chess World Championship, so already it is a little dated. #2.) This is some of the dryest text you may ever see in your life. (Few, if any good stories.) In fact, if you suffer from insomnia, this may be a good book for you. I also get the impression that Kramnik either accepted factually that he was very talented, or he is one of the most conceited individuals on the face of the earth. #3.) Many of the Soviet books are "ghost-written" by other chess players - trainers, analysts and such. I get the impression that this is what happened here. (A few of the errors in analysis are too basic to have been perpetrated by Kramnik. Indeed, I. Damsky is probably responsible for the majority of this book.) Having given the above harsh criticisms, you may get the idea that I hate this book. This is simply not the case. I am a Master who makes a great part of his living from teaching chess. I consider it my responsibility to give as an honest review of every chess book as I possibly can. I also feel it my duty to reflect what many of my students and contacts on the Internet have told me about this book. If you are looking for a book with some of the best annotations by a top player available, this would be a good book for you to choose. (Many of the annotations are gleaned from magazines where Kramnik had a direct hand in reviewing the games.) What this book lacks in great stories, and perhaps quality, it makes up for in quantity. You get almost 200 deeply annotated games by the current World Champion. You will get one of the most COMPLETE chess educations available in one book by carefully studying ALL of these games. (And I estimate it would take the average player nearly two years to do this!) Warning: Most of these games are highly technical. Many of my students decribed them as "dry and boring." (In the style of Capablanca and Karpov.) The average player may not have the skill to appreciate just how hard it is to play like this. Careful study of these games will definitely improve your chess. .... ... Read more |
