Book: Secrets of Spectacular Chess

             
Secrets of Spectacular Chess (2nd edition),
by Jonathan Levitt and David Friedgood.

Lubomir Kavalek writes about the book in The Washington Post
(June 30, 2008): 

Chess is magical and beautiful. Just read "Secrets of Spectacular Chess" by Jonathan Levitt and David Friedgood (recently issued by Everyman Chess), and you realize that almost everything is possible on the chessboard. This excellent study on the aesthetics of chess is full of fascinating examples created by players and composers. The current edition is vastly enlarged from the 1995 original. Among the new material is the amazing 1999 game between Kasparov and Topalov in Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands.
