This My Great Predecessors 2: Euwe, Botvinnik, Smyslov & Tal by Garry Kasparov is an English-language paperback chess book and the second volume in Kasparov’s acclaimed series on the great world champions. It focuses on Euwe, Botvinnik, Smyslov and Tal, and on the way their play helped shape modern chess.

What this volume covers
