Tony Miles: 'It's Only Me': England's First Chess Grandmaster

About this book

From the archives of Britains first grandmaster comes a fascinating and entertaining collection of games articles annotations and reviews. This is the book Tony Miles would have written had he not died so prematurely in 2001 compiled by three of his close friends and it contains all of his most famous wins some of his losses and some hitherto unpublished games from his earlier years. Among the gems that will intrigue chess lovers: a full run-through of the famous match against Karpov with the St. Georges opening 1 e4 a6 as well as a much less well-known victory over the then-world champion from a television tournament. Almost all of the games have commentary by Tony in his own inimitable style. As well as being a great player Tony Miless notes prove that he was one of the funniest writers on the game.
