Ah, your query ignited a spark in my chess soul! As I am currently reading "On My Greatest Predecessors Part One" by Garry Kasparov. A book about the first four world champions and there is also a chapter on skilled masters prior to them. The book contains many games of Alekhine and Capablanca, and a handful of Paul Morphys. They are accompanied by annotations and comments of the champions theirselves, a contemporary master or the author.
Although in my view the book contains an adequate amount of diagrams, I am not sure what you qualify as 'many'. Otherwise recommendable.
Thanks, Dvoretsky. I'm also looking for separate volumes for each player's best games - are there any other titles you (or anyone else) could recommend?
Btw, I've heard bad things about "A First Book of Morphy" - it appears the book uses non-standard notation.
You heard that from people who can't read chess notation if it doesn't include x's for captures and +'s for checks. Those marks are entirely unnecessary, but I'm including them in my next book.
Hi Guys and Gals,
To augment my ever-growing chess library, I'm looking for books of annotated games of the following masters:
- 1) Alekhine 2) Capablanca 3) Morphy
Ideally what I'm looking for is books that:
- are in algebraic notation
- have many, clear diagrams
- contain good and instructive annotations by experts
Btw, I've heard bad things about "A First Book of Morphy" - it appears the book uses non-standard notation.
Can anyone recommend some titles that fit the bill?
Thanks very much :-)
