English GM Nigel Short was one of the most successful chess players of the 1980s and 1990s and was still in the top 100 well into his 50s. The peak of his career came in 1993, when he challenged for the World Championship in a match against Garry Kasparov.

"I wish I'd had a book like this when I was a promising young player… I enjoyed this book greatly. There are inevitably a few places where you raise your eyebrows and think 'Nigel, did this really need to be included…?'
