'I always want to be first,' stated Anatoly Karpov, who in 1975 was declared chess champion of the world when the eccenAmerican Robert James Fischer declined to defend his title against his Russian challenger. The fact that Tolya' was no 'paper tiger' was something he proved over the next three decades: during it he held the FIDE world championship for 17 years (1975-1985 and 1993-1999) and won more than 160 major chess tournaments - an all-time record!
The unique career of the Russian grandmaster can be apfrom these 100 annotated games, which demonthat Karpov is not only a master in the conversion of a minimal advantage. All chess enthusiasts can profit and learn from them!

This English work is a fine translation from the German edition which is done by Ken Neat, strange enough the English edition is much more expensive than the German one! Karpov became in April 24, 1975 officially world champion in chess and exactly 31 years later Karpov releases this book with 100 of his ever best games all played between the years 1968 and 2003. In this book you shall not find much about the personal life of Karpov or his losses but a collection of impressive wins against the greatest players of his time as for example Korchnoi, Spassky, Kasparov and Timman. Karpov is a man who plays very efficient chess and does not aim for complications but he is one of those chess players who became stronger with every game he played. The games are well analysed with a lot of readable text and some games as Smejkal - Karpov, Leninggrad 1973 are good for nearly five pages of instructive text. Karpov has included from the famous 1978 WM match against Korchnoi {Viktor the terrible} two games but unfortunately nothing about the atmosphere of these games not even an anecdote. The match is passed and the enemies have become good friends and the two games specially the 14th match game is a truly master piece. The most recent included game is from Warsaw 2003, with Bartiomiej Macieja where Karpov played a fascinating Scotch game with the openings moves 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nxc6 bxc6 6.e5 Qe7 7.Qe2 Nd5 8.c4 Ba6 9.b3 0-0-0 10.g3 g5!? 11.Ba3 Nb4!? Karpov writes: To judge by Macieja's reaction, he had expected the queen to move and he was caught unawares.14.Bb2 It is curious that Fritz initially gives preference to white, but then, after delving into the position, discovers that he has nothing. Interesting for the theory lovers under us the move from Karpov 11...Nb4 is not mentioned in the latest ECO of Chess Openings! Karpov wrote after the defeat of Macieja: After this defeat {in the second game of the match} Macieja gave up the Scotch game but as a result of this white did not improve.
Contributions are made by Saizew {introduction} and Raymond Stolze is good for a interesting eight page article of Karpov’s way in the chess Olympics. Included through the book are short anecdotes, statistics and excellent made players and openings indexes.
Conclusion: A unique game collection fully overloaded with instructive notes!
