It contains a delightful selection of his favourite games, each of which is explained in detail, together with sections on tactical highlights and endgames. Special attention is devoted to the super-sharp Botvinnik variation, which Shirov has used to remarkable effect against the world's leading players.Alexei Shirov has firmly established himself among the world's top players since becoming a grandmaster in 1990. His many tournament victories include first place at Munich in 1993 and a tie for second place in Linares with Kasparov behind Karpov in 1994.
