He wrote a book, which is very interesting because of his annotations — his comments are short and always to the point. I think he has produced so many interesting games, so it makes sense to look at his career from a different angle. In some cases I analyse the same games, but very often I selected others.
One of the reasons for this is that I wanted to spot the moments when he reached new heights. Your author is a trainer of juniors who fi nds investigating the early part of a career extremely interesting. Beliavsky starts his selection of games from the age of 19, while in this book I discuss much earlier parts of his career. I conducted an interview with Viktor Kart, who was his junior trainer and played a fundamental role in his journey in chess.
Beliavsky´s book Uncompromising Chess (a great title) was published back in 1998; computer analysis can uncover a lot and also add a lot to the level of analysis.
