David Against Goliath 1

In the decade following the break–up of the Soviet Union, grandmaster David Bronstein—one of the truly great players of the last century and also one of the most original chess thinkers—has led something of a nomadic life, passing on his wisdom to chess enthusiasts in countries around the world. This biography, written with veteran chess editor Sergey Voronkov, tells the story of his encounters in two parts—those with machines and those with humans. This first volume presents 80 games that Bronstein played against the “silicon monsters,” annotated in such an instructive way as to provide virtually a course in chess improvement.
