Annotated Kasparov's Games
Sort:
If you enjoy reading:
16. f6
and not 16. e5 dxe5 17. Be4 Ne7 18. Qa5+ Nc6 19. a4 b4! where black gains equality.
The more modern 16f6 e5 17. Nd4 Ne7 18. Re1 Rd8 leaves white with the initiative.

For awhile I stopped posting this reply because some lazy boneheads took extreme umbrage at it, but if you're a tad more open-minded and ambitious you will find the above link very handy for answering a wide range of questions in additon to your current inquiry.
In the meantime look around at amazon, eBay, and various online bookstores - in addition to various online chess sites that sell books such as ChessBase.
eh eh. I know how to use a search engine. But it doesn't tell you if the annotations are at a level that an amateur can understand.

Look at the books description and/or user reviews/ratings at the site. Or just look up the book itself for reviews/ratings. As far as understanding the annotations just follow my old karate instructor's advice "Fake it till you make it" besides what's not to understand when the annotations generally consist of alternate lines of play? If you buy a book by someone like Soltis you'll understand plenty. If you buy a book by someone considered to be a suckass writer (Keene for instance, with some exceptions) you'll be wasting your $.
Once you get the books' titles/authors you can start a new blog asking all of the mavens and know-it-alls here for their opinions as well.
Overall I'd think the vast majority of game collections are written for "amateurs" not IMs and GMs or else they'd have a very limited market.
You can view a preview of the book on Amazon.
Kasparov annotations are long strings of variations with little real explanation which may be to your taste, but not to mine.
Hi, i'm looking for a book of well (i.e. for the amateur) annotated kasparov's games. As far as i know there's only one book (i think the title is Kasparov's best games) which seems hard to find. And an ebook (kindle) by Eric Shiller which i'm not going to buy because i find Shiller doesn't really know how to teach chess (having read other books of him). Any suggestions?
