Bent Larsen's Best Games

One of the most colorful players of the 20th century. -- Garry Kasparov, former World Chess Champion One of the best books in the entire history of chess. A masterpiece. -- Alfonso Romero Holmes, former Spanish Chess Champion I have long wanted to have a collection of Larsen's games in algebraic notation. Unfortunately, the previous books were all in descriptive. Larsen's writing style is very pleasant, and accessible to the widest range of players. He shares many nice anecdotes and compelling insights. -- Davide Nastasio ChessCafe.com Of the many chess masters I have met, Bent is the most original. -- Anatoly Karpov, former World Chess Champion A collection of 120 of the legend's games annotated in his lucid, humorous and instructive style. An evocative book, and an excellent read. -- Leonard Barden The Guardian With a fine sense of humor Larsen explains his aggressive and unconventional approach to chess, in a way that is instructive to players of all strengths. -- Christopher Lutz, former German Chess Champion Together with his love for and deep knowledge of chess, it is the refined humor of this outstanding player and highly cultured person that makes his comments so unique. -- Mihail Marin His chess writing is among the best, combining analysis with humor and psychological understanding of the fight. -- Peter Heine Nielsen, former Danish Champion; present second to World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen
