A revealing biography of Miguel Najdorf, one of the leading chess figures of the 20th century. Written by his daughter Liliana, it offers an intimate portrait of a brilliant, complex man whose life was full of both triumph and pain.
The book presents Najdorf warts and all: loving and rage-prone, noble and petty, generous and selfish, jovial but despotic, earthy but vain, exuberant yet deeply sad. It also captures his extraordinary abilities, from conducting 40 blindfold games simultaneously to memorizing long strings of random numbers.
For the English-language edition, Dutch grandmaster Jan Timman contributes a selection of annotated games and an in-depth foreword. Several historical essays and many photographs complete this engrossing chess biography from Russell Enterprises.
