Предлагаемая книга своеобразна, буквально в каждой части мы встречаемся с интересными подробностями, будто бы уводящими нас в сторону, однако всегда позволяющими вернуться к основному направлению повествования. В книге чемпион мира по шахматам Анатолий Карпов рассказывает о себе, своих товарищах и учителях, о восхождении на вершину шахматного олимпа, о больших и малых шахматных баталиях, в которых он участвовал. В книге не много шахматных партий, и подобраны они достаточно своеобразно. Подбор приводимых здесь партий в достаточной мере раскрывает подход Карпова к самой шахматной игре. Он дает только выигранные им партии, видимо считая, что шахматная игра – это главным образом спорт. Рассказ чемпиона мира дополняет мастер спорта СССР, заслуженный тренер РСФСР, журналист Александр Рошаль. В этой книге многое впервые. Об этом новом с интересом узнают и любители, и специалисты шахмат, и с пользой для себя воспримут те, кто еще почти ничего не знает о великой игре шахматы.
