No player can fail to be inspired by these classic games and Averbakh's detailed annotations. This informative and entertaining book includes descriptions of games against world champions, details of expertly played endgames, insights into successful training techniques, and explanations of Averbakh's contributions to opening theory. Yuri Averbakh was one of the leading Soviet grandmasters for two decades, competing in the USSR Championship 15 times between 1949 and 1969.
