@lime56 -
Thank you.
Would you say that the production quality of the book is good ? Paper & binding, etc.?
Good evening Russ,
I have this book and I would compare it to most good quality paperback books. Nothing special but seems of reasonable quality and apart from the spine creasing from repeated use, nothing says it’s about to fall apart. A good book. 👍
@Powderdigit & @lime56 -
Thank you both for your feedback about the new edition of the book. I had hoped that someone would eventually reissue an improved, updated edition of the book. Now I see they've done it with even more games (145) than the 2010 edition. I've ordered a copy.
@Powderdigit - the position on the board you posted (#21) above seems to be from game #86 in the book: Short-Timman, Tilburg 1991, Alekhine Defence, Fianchetto Variation...

@Powderdigit & @RussBell...two spin off threads are suggested by your recent answers. 1. Best production values of chess book publishers. 2. Spot the game from the 'Mammoth Book of..' from the position on the board. And I like the match of book cover and set choice !
Russ, see front cover and publisher/author details of my copy recently purchased in UK. Note additional author and more games, latest being Studer Vs Rapport from 2019/20.

Alas, the board and pieces are too tight but forgive me, I couldn’t help but want to match the colours of the book!😊🤦♂️
Extra points for naming the game 😉.
