Recenzii

"While Geller may have never climbed the final steps to the top of the chess kingdom he left behind a wealth of brilliant and instructive games. He was not only an excellent theoretician who was in demand as a coach (World Champions Spassky and Karpov sought his help), but also a first-rate annotator, skilled at explaining his games. This principled player (1.e4 as White and the Sicilian and King's Indian as Black) best efforts still serve as models of middlegame strategy.
The Nemesis – Geller's Greatest Games belongs in every chess player's library." -- IM John Donaldson

"[Geller] does a fine job explaining the key features of positions without droning on. The analysis is also well-tuned, with lines going deeply enough when it is necessary, but without overwhelming readers. The games themselves are fantastic…Purdy once said that the best way to improve was to 'play against champions' by studying their games and testing our ideas against their moves and analysis… The Nemesis provides a model for how we might understand that dialogue today, including silicon-enhanced insights, without harming or undermining Geller's particular genius." -- John Hartmann, Chess Life
