Book Summary

The Mammoth Book of the World's Greatest Chess Games (first published in 2004) presents 112 of the most celebrated chess games in history—from the Immortal Game and Fischer’s famous brilliancies to Kasparov vs. Topalov and Deep Blue’s first victory over Kasparov. Annotated by three expert authors and enriched with more than 900 diagrams, the book offers deep insights into opening play, middlegame strategy, endgame technique, psychological battles, and the thought processes of elite players.

About the Authors 

This anthology reflects the combined strengths of Graham Burgess, John Nunn, and John Emms—each a distinguished British chess master and prolific author. Graham Burgess (b. 1968), an English FIDE Master with a Cambridge mathematics degree, has written or edited over 20 books and holds a world record for marathon blitz chess; his earlier book The Mammoth Book of Chess won the British Chess Federation Book of the Year Award in 1997

John Nunn (b. 1955), a Grandmaster and Oxford-trained mathematician with two GM titles (one in problem-solving), was a top-ten player in the late 1980s; he co-founded Gambit Publications and is widely regarded as one of the best chess authors of his generation, having won the British Chess Federation Book of the Year award three times 

John Emms (b. 1967), a Grandmaster and seasoned trainer, is also an accomplished chess writer known for his accessible style and contributions to opening theory and instructive play. Together, they craft a richly detailed and educational journey through the game’s greatest moves and turning points.
