A classic, and invaluable insights into some of the rationale behind the moves and strategies employed in this tournament. This is worth the money and will enhance your own games incredibly well, if you read it through - look for ideas as you work through the games, and incorporate the transitional concepts into your play.

Bronstein's masterpiece. He explains dark/light square weaknesses, the principles of attack and sacrifice in illuminating fashion. Full of little nuggets of chess wisdom. A true classic.
