Tony Miles: Fifty Great Short Games

Grandmaster Tony Miles became England's first Grandmaster, and led the way for a generation of strong English players to follow. On the board, Miles was an innovator. He tried to be original in every game. Some of his ideas appear "crazy" but on further examination prove to instead be deeply considered and profoundly original. But what made him most exceptional as a player was an extraordinary determination and will to win. This book is a collection of fifty games in which Miles' victory comes in 24 moves or less. Some of these games are gems. All are worthy to be seen.
