Jan Timman is a former world championship candidate who rose to the number two spot of the FIDE world rankings. He is the author of several highly acclaimed bestsellers, such as Curacao 1962, On the Attack!, Power Chess with Pieces and The Art of the Endgame.
A very interesting book, full of anecdotes I have never seen
elsewhere (..) Entertaining and instructive, 'Timman's Titans' is
also Timman's finest.--Sean Marsh "CHESS Magazine (UK)"
Even chess insiders will find in the stories a lot of information
they don't know (..) I have always been a fan of Timman's way of
annotating games. He makes what happens on the board very easily
accessible, so much so that you feel yourself fully immersed in the
secrets of the game.--Uwe Bekemann, German Correspondence Chess
Federation
One of the finest chess books that have recently been published
(..) Although Timman doesn't keep silent about matters such as
match-fixing, abuse of power or excessive drinking, he writes his
portraits with a fundamentally positive view. The joy with which
the book is written works contagious.--Jeroen Bosch, International
Master "Schaakmagazine"
The many anecdotes will change the views of quite a few readers
(..) A classic.--B.H. Wilders "Nederlands Dagblad"
