    Как можно соединить в одной книге стремительность и дотошность, увлекательность для гроссмейстера и занимательность для любителя или даже профана; лиричность и объективность? Можно, вообще-то, и по-разному. Но в данном случае это следствие самой личности автора. Гарри Каспаров, тринадцатый чемпион мира по шахматам. Человек кипящий и порывистый, жесткий и целеустремленный, увлекающийся и политический человек. В сотрудничестве с Дмитрием Плисецким он воспроизводит историю шахматного чемпионства - в этом, первом томе – от Стейница до Алехина. Уже в каком-то "наполеоновском" предисловии Каспаров сразу высвечивает несколько важнейших моментов: всего 14 человек за 117 лет были сильнейшими за доской. Это раз И два: все чемпионы, да и их предшественники – дофидешные великие шахматисты были теснейше связаны с ценностями того общества, в котором жили и творили… Так Каспаров распахивает дверь книги и сразу, уже на пороге ясные, рациональные характеристики всех четырнадцати чемпионов. Включая себя, что важно, и без кокетливой скромности Каспаров пишет "Я" и трезво ставит себя в контекст эпохи и игры. Скажу шепотом: "мы, со многими из вас играем в шахматы на уровне детского сада. И буквы, цифры и позиции для нас китайская грамота. Но почитаем комментарии Каспаров к партиям, которые настолько широким радиусом освещают мир вокруг доски, не отвлекаясь ни на секунду от сути происходящего, что мы невольно втягиваемся во вселенную черно-белых фигур и черно-белых клеток". Но и комментирует Каспаров не только сам. О каждом чемпионе – будто интервью дают – говорят в книге все другие, что физически могли знать о нем. Итак, Гарри Каспаров Мои великие предшественники, т.1, "От Стейница до Алехина". Рипол Классик, Москва 2003. А томов будет еще два.
