Learn from Bent Larsen and Korchnoi and his Chess Grandchildren reviews

January 12th, 2023 No comments

“Nine entertaining chapters cover various aspects of Larsen’s chess career… This may well have been a labour of love for the author, but hopefully, readers and players of the internet generation will be tempted to give this book a try. Open it up, select a page at random, take a look at the moves and I am sure you will agree: ‘That is really playing chess!’”
Sean Marsh, CHESS


“This is an excellent book. For Korchnoi fans, it is an absolute must. For everyone else, the sheer amount of fighting chess on display should turn heads. Very impressive, Quality Chess!”
Sean Marsh, CHESS
