When Learn from the Legends was published in 2004, the book became an instant classic and Mihail Marin became known as one of the world's finest chess authors. In this new book, the Romanian GM shines the spotlight on five more all-time-great players: Leonid Stein, Lev Polugaevsky, David Bronstein, Paul Keres and Lajos Portisch. Much like the first book, the ambitious student can learn a great deal from studying the legends of yesteryear, aided by the author's expert insights, while more casual readers will enjoy the biographical and best-games compilation of five wonderful chess players.
