Tony Miles: It’s Only Me: England’s First Chess Grandmaster by Geoff Lawton
Requirements: PDF Readers, 15MB
Overview: The charismatic Tony Miles has been much missed since his tragic and premature death in 2001. Regarded as one of England’s greatest ever chess players and analysts, he was also one of the wittiest writers on the game. By sheer force of example and ebullient peronality, he inspired the ‘English chess explosion’ after becoming the first UK grandmaster in the mid 70s. This Fascinating collection of over a hundred games and articles, covering Tony’s entire chess career, includes his most celebrated wins, a few losses, and in addition to the famous game against Karpov with the bizarre St George’s opening 1 e4 a6 – a less well known victory over the then world champion from a television tournament. All the games are annotated by Tony himself – in his own inimitable style. This fitting tribute is rounded off with a review of Tony’s original opening repertoire as well as personal appreciations by his Birmingham clubmates and friends Mike Fox, Malcolm Hunt and Geoff Lawton.
