“Chess Gladiator” by FM Asa Hoffman
Seventy heavily annotated games make up this collection from
the man GM Yasser Seirawan refers to as "...a near legendary figure in the
New York City chess world." Asa Hoffmann is a FIDE master based in New
York, who has gone toe-to-toe with many International Grandmasters and
International Masters. In this book you will find duels against such greats as
Joel Benjamin, Gata Kamsky, Miguel Quinteros and even a previously unpublished
blitz win against Bobby Fischer! "A chess master is a gladiator, fighting
for survival. His opponents come armed with nets to entrap him, and sharp
tridents to impale him. The gladiator must know all the techniques of his
profession, for even one slip can be fatal." - Asa Hoffmann
