Shirov's One Hundred Wins
by Sergei Soloviov, Alexander Khalifman (Editor)
Editorial Review:
Alexei Shirov is one of the most entertaining chess players in the world. He was the first ever to reach the 2700 level before the age of 20. Shirov created a great number of masterpieces that earned him a deserved fame of the king of attack of our days.
Like at the board, Shirov is quite fiery in his private life, moving from Riga to Spain, then to Poland only to return back to Riga with his last young wife, an outstanding chess player herself. However he retains his Spanish citizenship. Sergei Soloviov has put together a thorough biographical work featuring 100 games played and won by Shirov between 1990 and 2002.
The excellent annotations are work of Khalifman, Sakaev, Speelman, Shipov, Motwani, Yudasin. A good selection of high-quality photos and a hardcover version make this book a fine acquisition for any chess fan.

An outstanding collection of 400 annotated games of the former world champion Spassky.

Alexander Alekhine. Games 1902-1922
by Alexander Khalifman (Editor)
Editorial Review:
The first of the three-volume set of Alexander Alekhine's tournament and match games.
Includes many crosstables and 464 thoroughly analyzed in the well known Informator style games. The strong point of the book is the new look at the life's work of one of the greatest champions of the past.
All game commentaries are made anew by strong Russian players.
Especially interesting are the opening notes which allow to make a historical comparison with the achievements of modern theory.
The goal of this book is not to publish previously unknown games of Alekhine, but rather revise the famous encounters in the light of contemporary understanding of chess.
