Re: Do you like Kasparov's "On my great predecessors"?

Really.  So you find Kasparov's earlier works, such as the Test of
Time Wanting?  And I take it you haven't read Karpov's Chess at the
Top?  Or any of Smylsov or Euwe's works?  And what about Botvinnik's
100 Selected Games [Not to mention the four volume set published
later].  I can name ten by these guys that are routinely considered
classics.
