"Few chess books can be recommended without reservation for all lovers of the game. Chess Duels: My Games with the World Champions is one of them. Highly Recommended" John Donaldson, Jeremysilman.com "The best chess autobiography in years and sure to be one of this year's top-sellers." CHESS Magazine "This is a must-have book, a combination of chess history, remarkable annotated games, and great stories well told, made more pleasant by Yasser Seirawan's character as one of the great gentlemen of the game. If you decided to enjoy an evening or two in the company of a chess gent, you are sure to have no regrets." Derek Gimmell, ChessCafe.com
