An eye-witness account of the 1995 World Championship match, held on the observation deck of the World Trade Centre in New York.

‘…the best on the human aspects of the match’ – Leonard Barden (The Guardian)

Originally published in 1993 by Cadogan, an updated edition was published by Dover Inc in 2003.

The book is based on the highly popular columns that Daniel writes for ‘Chess Monthly’. The reader is invited to predict the moves from top games, and is awarded points depending on the accuracy of calculation.

King describes the chess action while Donald Trelford provides deft vignettes of the players and the atmosphere surrounding the match.

A book for beginners.

‘At last a book on the Najdorf Sicilian that you can actually enjoy reading…Daniel King annotates 60 games in his usual witty yet instructive way…Excellent’ Chess Monthly (UK)

‘I have played the Najdorf for years, loved analyzing it, but never felt I really understood it...I purchased this book, and proceeded to win the US Amateur Championship twice, with the Najdorf winning key games…In short, you must have this book if you play the Najdorf!’ – David A Mathys jr

The Spanish or Ruy Lopez is one of the most popular chess openings. Now in its third edition, this book provides a radically different way of studying the opening. Essential strategic plans and typical pawn structures are examined, leading to a genuine understanding of the positions that arise.
