Translated and Edited by Ken Neat

In this original and highly acclaimed book, revised for the first Cadogan
edition, Super-Grandmaster Lyev PoJugayevsky describes his personal approach
to chess, one which has taken him to the uppermost reaches of the game.
Here he highlights the factors which have enabled him to reach the top:

* Opening preparation
* Adjoumment analysis
* Preparation for decisive encounters

Of particular interest is his account of what has become known as
the Polugayevsky Variation, one of the sharpest variations of the Sicilian
Defence. Here we can share the author's joys and disappointments as he
attempts over a period of many years to uphold his brain-child against
attempts to 'bury it'. Lyev Polugayevsky, one of the world's leading players
over the last thirty years, has been a Candidate for the World Championship
on numerous occasions. A companion volume entitled Grandmaster Performance,
also translated by Ken Neat, is available from Cadogan.
