Timman\'s Triumphs
Jan Timman is one of the greatest chess players never to win the world title. Three times Timman was a Candidate for the World Championship and his peak in the world rankings was second place, in 1982. For many years 'the Best of the West' belonged to the chess elite, collecting some splendid super tournament victories.
The result is startling and fascinating. For this definitive collection, Timman has revisited his career and subjected his finest efforts to fresh analysis supported by modern technology. From the games that he chose for his Timman's Selected Games (1994, also published as Chess the Adventurous Way), only 10( ) made the cut.
Some games that he had been proud of turned out to be flawed, others that he remembered as messy were actually well played. Timman's Triumphs includes wins against greats such as Karpov, Kasparov, Kortchnoi, Smyslov, Tal, Spassky, Bronstein, Larsen
