Perhaps you did not see the accompanying pic (the 1956 Candidates by Euwe in German).
And since it's Cyrillic, you can spell Gary pretty much any way you want (as indeed with Fighting Chess by Gary Kasparov).
I did not see any pic.
Actually, his first one (from 1983). And very interesting indeed.

He was the one who defeated a big computer and also lost to it. Interesting in what way?
Again first of the 5 volume?

Sorry. I do not understand. It must be German.
On the second thought, that name in the link sounds familiar.

Thanks for further clarification.
How was "Fighting Chess" interesting?
Never read Fighting Chess, but I assume that it covered the early part of the chess career of Kasparov.
I remember him getting angry about the loss to Deep Blue. Casparov thought he had been set up I guess.
Might be of interest to look at the 2017 Kasparov book, Deep Thinking.
The predecessors series by Kasparov is pretty fun to work through. He gives a dizzying amount of variations but the best bits are where he takes some time to discuss strategy or the history of an endgame position as it relates to russian chess. His breakdown of Tigran Petrosian and his favorite positional exchange sacrifice stands out. Also his discussion of a ruy lopez endgame played by Smyslov against Reshevsky in a radio match is really interesting. He stops to explain that the endgame was already known the Soviet players through a Botvinnik game and analysed it quite deeply.
The only "rare" Chess book I own is the 1937 printed account of the 1936 Nottingham Tournament. At least I think it is rare lol ... 
@ghost_of_pushwood yeah I dont have those yet. I still need the karpov korchnoi volume but I am very interested in grabbing the rest of the series too. Do you have them and if you do how do they stack up to the early volumes?
How is "Kasparov teaches chess" book? Has anyone read it?
Since Kasparov's my favorite chess writer, I'd be happy with pretty much anything by him.
And I just found a Dover reprint of that Nottingham 1936 book in a clearance bin at my local Half Price Books...for 3 bucks.
Can you explain what sort of subjects of chess are covered in: "Kasparov teaches chess".
What is Dover reprint of that Nottingham 1936 book ? From G. K.?
I can not tell you what was covered by Kasparov Teaches Chess, but I do not have the impression that it is seen as one of his important contributions to chess. I think it was a short book, mostly forgotten soon after its 1986 publication. I do not think that there is any important connection between Kasparov and the Dover Nottingham 1936 book. It is just a book that one might mention in a thread about rare books. There was a big tournament in Nottingham. I think it was Alekhine who wrote about it. At one time, Dover reprinted the book.
I have a book called "A History of Chess", I am not 100% sure that it is out of print, but I know that it was a very famous book of its time, especially on the topic of chess. It was published in 1913. Despite it being so old, it can still be found in Libraries in many cities around the globe. The book actually also contains colored illustrations that were reprinted by hand.
yup

You are right on that one, Garri Gari. All the same. Is Fighting Chess part of his 5 volumes (my predecesdors) or a separate one?
