دانلود کتاب Kramnik: My Life & games

This is a very good book; obviously, there are very few people who have the credentials to offer criticism of the quality of Kramnik’s analysis. My beef with this book is the obvious sucking up to Kramnik by Damsky. He spews all sorts of praise on Kramnik, as if he is the biggest genius and best human being the world has ever known. Some flattery is probably expected; Kramnik is, after all, one of the strongest players in history. However, Damsky goes way overboard, and it takes away from the overall quality of the book. If you can get past his fawning praise (and you should), then you will learn from Kramnik’s annotations. But Damsky’s sucking up is hard to ignore.
