Paul Keres: The Quest for Perfection (New American Batsford Chess Library)

Rating:
Summary: A fitting tribute to the Crown Prince of Chess
Review: Even in this age of 2700+ grandmasters, the games of Paul Keres retain their excitement and freshness. John Nunn has done a wonderful job of adding additional analysis to Keres's original comments, as well as giving us the later games Keres had not included in his Chess autobiography. 37 years in the Top 10 of Chess, four-time second-place winner in Candidates' Tournaments (yes, it's heart-rending) - there can be no doubt that Paul Keres was one of the giants of the game. Any chess player from, say, 1500 to GM cannot fail to benefit from this book. Why only 9? I would have liked photos! My only caveat, and a niggling one at that.

Summary: Excellent games collection
Review: The annotations get right to the heart of the matter- strategy and tactics- no wasted words here. Between Keres and Nunn you cant help learning something. Contains 52 heavily annotated games played between 1950-1975.
