By almost any standards Garry Kasparov is the greatest chess player to ever play the game. With his fiery arrogance and indomitable attacking play, he became the youngest world chess champion at the age of 22, and held the title for 15 years. His FIDE chess rating of 2851 is the highest ever recorded. Since he retired from professional chess in 2005 to pursue a career in politics, Kasparov has released a series of chess books titled MY GREAT PREDECESSORS that chronicle the seminal strategic developments and revolutionary thinkers of chess history. The books provide compelling insight into the historical, psychological, and biographical elements in chess, but Kasparov is at his most brilliant and riveting when he turns his gaze on the conceptual evolution of the game. Chess is an arcane and infinite pursuit, and perhaps only Kasparov is truly qualified to tell its marvelous story. Chess lovers will be reading, analyzing, and rereading these books for years.

In the most anticipated volume of his inimitable series, Kasparov devotes an entire book to one man, a player whose fame rivals Kasparov himself. That player, of course, is the American wunderkind Bobby Fischer. Though his career was cut short by his own troubled psychology, Fischer's innovations to the game are truly remarkable. Kasparov analyzes Fischer's famous games, including his "Game of the Century" and his victories in Iceland against Boris Spassky and the feared Soviet chess organization.
