With the help of co-author Zhivko Ginchev, Topalov shares his thoughts, hopes and fears as he fought for the most prestigious title in the chess world. The Russian World Champion Vladimir Kramnik had defeated the seemingly invincible Kasparov to take the title in 2000; the brilliant Bulgarian Challenger, Veselin Topalov, was ranked No. 1 in the world. Not since Bobby Fischer had faced Boris Spassky in Reykjavik in 1972 had the chess world seen such a tumultuous, controversial title bout. The match had it all: deep positional play, razor-sharp tactics, accusations of questionable behavior, and even a forfeited game.
