Masterpieces of the golden age in chess volume 1: 1965-1971

Gligorić's signature is a guarantee. Reputed theoretician and innovator in the field of openings, he was part of an extraordinary generation of players, in the golden age of world chess. At that moment, the Fischer phenomenon arises, Anatoly Karpov takes the reins and another of the geniuses of history appears, Garry Kasparov. Svetozar Gligorić was one of the great figures of world chess in the 50s and 60s, and even in the 70s.

This selection of Gligorić games (from 1965 to 1985) are true masterpieces, with the endorsement of a sublime analyst. In this facet it shone like no other GM.

More than a hundred games superbly commented. Each game analyzed by Gligorić has a similar structure, with a previous introduction where the lucid pen of Gligorić places the reader on stage and particularities of the fight with remarkable brilliance, with a very personal approach.

The importance of the figure of Gligorić is clear with his four victories against Bobby Fischer, five over Smyslov, seven over Petrosian, two over Botvinnik and two over Tahl. Another important fact is his friendship with Bobby Fischer, which is reflected in some writings.
