Legendary Chess Careers: Yasser Seirawan

My original idea was to publish my interviews with legendary players all together in one book. When I saw the Timman book, I realised that Chess Evolutions idea to publish them separately was the better choice.

Dear Reader, after the Timman and the Portisch book, I now off er an interview with Yasser Seirawan. The former long-time American number one had a quite different career. It had a different trajectory, the Dutch and the Hungarian player were very good at the early stages, but the peak of their career came in their mid thirties, while Yasser broke into the chess elite like a rocket, this peak came much earlier and his career was shorter.

I find it very exciting to look into his best, and most important, games in detail and to learn about his personality. Listening to his words, in my opinion, can be very useful for those who want improve their chess.

For all of their help, I would like to express my gratitude to: John Donaldson, John Marble, and William Paschall.
Most of all, I'd like to thank Yasser for giving me the interview.
