A lot of trainers and coaches will find it worthwhile to include the book in their curriculum. The author provides many suggestions for further study. Review "The nice idea of this book is to fill the 'culture gap' that modern young players have about the classics (I was once told of a training session of promising young Western players where the immortal words 'who was Spassky?' were uttered!) through an easy to read overview of the world's greatest players from Morphy to Carlsen. For each player, Benjamin provides an introductory summary of their career, annotates a few games in detail and then provides a small number of unannotated games for further study. I would definitely make sure this book was in the Christmas stocking of any budding young chess player!" -- Matthew Sadler, Grandmaster, co author of 'Game Changer' "Benjamin's guide to greats of chess is most readable (and) contains a wealth of handy tips." ― CHESS Magazine (UK) About the Author Joel Benjamin won the US Championship three times and has been a trainer for almost three decades.
