This chapter is dedicated to Anatoli
Karpov. My favourite chess player has always been Anatoly
"Tolya" Karpov, world champion between 1975-1984.
The best chess writers are at the moment Jan
Timman, Mark Dvoretsky and Garry Kasparov. Kasparov´s book
"Garry Kasparov on My Great predecessors / On Modern Chess"
warmly recommended. Alexei Shirov's "Fire on Board" and Kramnikin
and Damskyn "Kramnik: My life and games" ovat also excellent
books.
A good chess column is in my opinion Chess Cafe.
Top players:
