Description:

What do we know of brilliancy in chess? The author delves back into history to examine how this concept has developed, before presenting a dazzling array of brilliant games from the past few decades - the prize-winners as selected by grandmaster panels for each issue of the Yugoslav Chess Informator between 1968 and 1998, all of which have been subjected to a critical, computer-based anaylsis.

Apart from providing hours of pleasure, a study of these masterpieces will also surely help to add a sparkle to your own play!

I like this book is for entertaiment and see the art side of chess. There are many attacking games and brilliant first prizes from tournaments. But I think there are better books out there if what you are looking for is improve.

I think you will not be upset if you want entertaiment and enjoy the good side of chess.
