Vishy Anand: World Chess Champion

En ny og sterkt utvidet Anand-bok med 87 av hans instruktive partier passe grundig kommentert. De 30 nye partiene fra 2002 til og med 2011 er utvalgt av Anand, kommentert av Nunn og sjekket igjen av Anand. Til sist kommer et nytt biografisk kapittel avsluttet med et intervju med verdensmesteren siden 2007.

I forordet beskriver John Nunn Anands partier slik:
"I have always admired Anand's games for their apparently effortless logic., which often has even very strong players into difficulties right from the opening. While he prefers to avoid complications, he does not shy away from tactics if he thinks it is the correct way.!

Denne tjukke, innholdsrike boka har mer enn to hundre gode sider ekstra i forhold til den utmerkede tidligere boka "My Best Games of Chess" fra 2001, og har likevel samme pris i norske kroner. Valutaen gjør nå sjakkbøker ekstra rimelige.
