Hardcover. Etat : Good. 1st Edition. First English edition of the Russian chess champion's first book, a combination of game analysis and autobiography, with chess diagrams and black-and-white photographs. "When Kasparov was six, he shocked his family by solving a difficult endgame puzzle from the newspaper. 'Since Garry knows how the game ends,' his father remarked, 'we ought to teach him how it begins.' Sixteen years and many thousands of training hours later, Kasparov became the youngest-ever world chess champion at 22. His greatness was also enduring. Kasparov held the world championship from 1985 to 2000, and even after losing the title he retained the highest ranking in the world. Perhaps more significantly, as he neared middle age at the dawn of the 21st century, Kasparov was one of the few human beings left who could effectively compete with the top chess computers" (Shenk, 205). Kasparov's achievements in the field of chess are many: "In 1976, he was the strongest player in the world under age 13. He became a grandmaster at 17, the youngest Soviet champion at 18 and the youngest world champion at 22 years, 210 days. In his first international tournament, Baku 1979, he exceeded the Grandmaster norm and took first place as an unrated player? He became the World Junior Champion in 1980 and co-champion of the USSR in 1981. Good condition, moderate wear and marking to the front and back covers and corners, contents clean and unmarked.
