I'm looking for recommendations in the "bio/annotated game collection" category. Recently got the 2-volume Keres collection (Road to the Top + Search for Perfection), which I really like, and am looking for something "modern".

Dreev's 100-game collection looks good, but is pricey and hard to find. Bologan's collection also is attractive, but I'm hesitant because his opening repertoire is very different from mine. To give an indication of my tastes, I greatly enjoyed Beliavsky's Uncompromising Chess.


Any suggestions welcome!

You can try "My best games" by Boris Gelfand. Highly recommended !

Thanks. Another recently published book (about an older player) I enjoyed was I Play Against Pieces by Gligoric.

Disclosure: I think I started a similar thread a couple of years ago, when I settled on the reprinted Larsen collection Master of Counter-Attack.

Well, now that Arne Moll (one of my three favorite reviewers, along with John Watson of TWIC and Carsten Hansen of chesscafe) has given it a thumbs-up, I'll probably go with Seirawan's "Duels" collection...
