ALEXEY
DREEV: MY 100 BEST GAMES
by Alexey Dreev,
300 pages + colour photos
Alexey Dreev is one of the most popular contemporary Russian
grandmasters. He is famous for his deep understanding of chess and fine
endgame technique. Many of his games are milestones in the theory of the
Slav Defence, the King's Indian Defence and others. He was twice World
junior champion and three times Olympic gold medalist. Dreev played in the
match Russia-Rest of the world in 2002, won the World team championships in
1997 and 2005. Dreev starts the first chapter with the following words:
"I have chosen and commented on 100 games for this book. I have played them
in a period of more than 20 years. These games are so different from each
other that there will be some to everybody’s liking – there are sacrifices,
there are quiet moves, there are sharp tactical games as well as tough
positional fights. You can also find instructive examples of how to play in
the various stages of the game. In general, I have devoted a great attention
to the openings and my comments about them are from the point of view of the
contemporary theory.
A chess professional’s life is not only the games played over the board. You
go to different countries, you visit various continents; you see picturesque
places and ancient towns and you come into contact with chess-fans all over
the world. In my notes to some of the games, I have shared with my readers
(as much as the size of the book allows) my impressions of these journeys
and encounters.
While working on the story of my first steps in chess, it was as if I
re-lived again everything I came through during all these times. Naturally,
my memory is not perfect. I have had to omit many things also because this
book is not an autobiography, it is not memoirs, and it is supposed to be a
collection of games. Still I tried to tell in earnest about my development
as a player, about my problems and hardships (some of them due to the
surroundings and some of them just personal). I have shared with my readers
my joy about my victories in my first tournaments and I have told about
people who have helped me and to whom I owe my deepest gratitude..."
