Chess kaleidoscope

by Anatoly Karpov, Y. Gik

In chess Kaleidoscope, World Champion Anatoly Karpov has collaborated with Mathematician and Chess Journalist Yevegeny Gik to produce an instructive and entertaining book, which should satisfy the demands both of chess enthusiasts and serious players.

The book is in three parts, the first of which tells of matches for the World Championship, of decisive games, of combinations, problems, and studies on the chess board, and of the unusual properties of the board and pieces. Part two deals with a currently fashionable topic, 'The Computer at the Chess Board,' and in the third part the World Champion annotates fifteen of his best games, many of which are from recent events and may be unfamiliar to the Western reader.

About the author

Russian chess master Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov ranked from 1975 as world champion to 1985.

Garry Kasparov defeated this official grand doctor. From 1986, he played three matches against Kasparov for the title to 1990. After Kasparove broke away from Fédération Internationale des Échecs in 1993, he then held its title once again. He held the title but in protest against new rules resigned in 1999. Many consider Karpov of the greatest players of all time for his decades-long standing among the elite.
