Title: Excellent games collection, but not perfect
Review: This is a collection of excellent games by a popular player, analyzed in a style and depth that an 2160 Elo rated player such as myself would often consider optimal.The games are exciting and of very high quality. Most of them, however, are quick white middlegame wins often arising from open or half-open openings. So this is no all-round game collection, as it is short on endgames, closed positions etc. But if your preference is towards open, attacking play, this book will be very educational.Anand's prose is light and easily understandable, which is a plus. But he has usually not gone much deeper than introducing the games and giving variations: the book has rather few anecdotes and not enough insight into his career or his way of thinking. Tal and Larsen are some of the greatest masters of that kind of chess annotation. So that is why I only awarded 4 stars to this book, instead of the 5 that the quality of the games deserves.
