Grandmaster Andy Soltis, New York Post:
“Vladimir Kramnik provides the most candid analysis of a championship match ever made by a former champ.”
Dylan Loeb McClain, Editor-in-chief for the Organizers of the 2016 WC match, and former New York Times chess columnist:
“A masterful job – probably the best book on a championship that I have ever seen.”
Grandmaster Raymond Keene, The Times:
“A deeply considered account of Magnus Carlsen’s narrowly successful title defence against Sergei Karjakin in New York last year. The analysis produces the last word on what both did and should have transpired in every game while colour photos convey a vivid impression of the visual aspects of the competition.”
