A Grandmaster´s Chronicle.1999, 333 Seiten, kartoniert, englisch
Dutch Grandmaster Hans Ree is one of the most respected writers in the chess world today. A graduate of the University of Amsterdam where he specialized in the study of mathematics, Ree soon decided that he preferred the life of professional chessplayer.Champion of The Netherlands four times, now he is much more active as a writer than as a player."This is a collection of Ree´s longer articles, where he takes the time to eloborate and reflect. These articles give the reader an excellent overview of the diverse events of the last decade. Though Ree can be a hard-hitting polemicist, his tone is well considered and his views are nuanced. Ree also takes a few trips into the past, where he compares anecdotes and stories from different sources. All this makes for excellent reading." (Jan Timman).
