Karolyi, Legendary Chess Careers - Jan Timman

"Jan Timman, with whom I had myself countless hardfought, bitter and very interesting battles, has made quite a name in the chessworld. Not only was he at the very top, the best of the West, as they called him, he also had a very creative, romantic and principled playing style. Jan always has been an icon for me, I still remember his famous endgame vs Velimirovic or the classic ‘the art of analysis’ he wrote. Never a dull moment in Jan’s games and this book refl ects this very well. Although this book has a high chess level it’s also a fun read with a lot of diversity, it’s a nice mix of stories, studies and topchess, what else does a chesslover want? :)"
