In this book former world championship candidate Robert Hübner annotates 25 games he played between 1967 and 1985. His opponents include world famous players like Reshevsky, Kortchnoi, Tal, Geller, Portisch and Spassky.

He provides rich material for the reader's own critical research and therefore shows as many tactical and positional motifs pertinent to the structure of each position as possible.

Robert Hübner probably is the world's most modest chess grandmaster. Have a look at some of the things he writes about his work:

"This is not a collection of 'best' games. The quality of play, which can only be measured by the absence of mistakes, has not influenced my choice of material. My only concern has been that the game should be complex enough to provide an oppurtunity for extensive analysis (..)

"It gives me great pleasure to express my sincere thanks to those who have given me their support in the preparation of this volume: the publisher Arno Nickel (..)  my friend Michael Trauth, who checked my analysis of games 1-9 and 23 and pointed out innumerable mistakes to me (..)

"and my friend Ian Strachan, who painstakingly corrected the mistakes in my English. Of course he has been unable in all cases to remove the clumsiness of expression which inevitably mars the usage of a foreign speaker; I apologize to the sensitive reader for the deficiency of the text."

"I had to do what I could with my own weak forces. Therefore all the results of my analysis have to be regarded as tentative."
