520 An illuminating profile of the world champion chess player
and political activist by the acclaimed author of
Searching for Bobby Fischer. Over the course of his
unprecedented career, Garry Kasparov dominated the chess
world with astonishing creativity and explosive passion.
In this unforgettable work of reportage, author Fred
Waitzkin "captures better than anyone--including Kasparov
himself in his own memoir--the various sides of this
elusive genius" (The Observer). Waitzkin had intimate
access to his subject during Kasparov's gripping 1990
matches against his sworn enemy, Anatoly Karpov. As the
world chess champion defends his title, Waitzkin analyzes
the match play with verve and depth that will delight lay
readers and aspiring grandmasters alike. Against this
backdrop, Waitzkin assembles a fascinating portrait of a
complicated man who is both a generational talent and an
outspoken advocate of Russian democracy, brilliant and
volcanic, tenacious and charismatic, despairing one moment
and exuberant the next.
