For example, Mikhail Botvinnik considered Fine's work the most worthy of all that had ever been written on endgame theory.

    Commentary by Dmitry Plisetskiy: - In the new edition of the 1st volume of the book by Garry Kasparov & quot; My great predecessors & quot; a number of historical facts are clarified and comments on all (!) 148 parties are thoroughly revised. Many previous ratings have changed in the games of Andersen, Morphy, Steinitz, Chigorin, Tarrash, Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine ... For example, in such famous games as the 7th game of the match Lasker - Steinitz (1894) or Pilsbury - Lasker (Petersburg 1896) , and indeed in all key parties of the Capablanca-Alekhine match (Buenos Aires 1927).

Exploring the famous games under the microscope of powerful computer programs, the author changes many previous estimates and, in essence, summarizes the development of chess in the 20th century. The first volume is about & laquo; uncrowned kings & raquo; past and the first four official world champions & mdash; Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca and Alekhine.
