Kotov Alexander. Grandmaster at Work

Macon: American Chess Promotions, 1990. - 210 p. - ISBN-10 : 0-939298-86-4
Soviet Grandmaster Alexander Kotov (1913-1981) was both a top ranking player and a world-famous author. Champion of his country, winner of international tournaments, and even a contender for the world chess championship, he is best known to players in the west as the author of the best-selling Think Like a Grandmaster and the sequel Play Like a Grandmaster.
Grandmaster At Work is both a collection of Kotov's best games and a textbook of practical chess play. Whole annotated games are grouped thematically, so that the book assumes the character of an original textbook on the most important aspects of chess theory. Kotov's annotations reveal how the "laboratory of a chessplayer" work.
