 Vishy
Anand is the strongest chess player ever to come from India, and is
currently rated number two in the world, with Garry Kasparov in his
sights. He recently achieved clear first place at Linares (av. rating -
2752) ahead of Kasparov himself, Kramnik, Ivanchuk, Topalov, Svidler and
Shirov. No mean feat.
In this, his first book, he presents detailed and entertaining commentaries to forty of his best games. Anand's ability to get to the heart of complex positions, which makes him a deadly opponent over the board, comes over supremely well in his notes, which amply repay careful study. |
 The

 The
attacking lines with f4 against the Sicilian were popularized during the
1980s on the British tournament circuit. Regular devotees of the Grand
Prix Attack have included Nigel Short, Mark Hebden and Julian Hodgson,
who have used it to score many devastating victories.
White's main aim in many lines is a quick, and often sacrificial, kingside attack, but the opening can be treated positional by both sides and with careful play Black's chances should be adequate. |
