Between 1972 and 1975 alone, progress in the field of opening theory was more significant than in the entire preceding decade! Under the influence of Fischer, who imparted a great impetus to the development of the game, chess was radically regenerated. This process, with increasing acceleration, also continued in later years. As a result, the overall picture in the openings changed almost beyond recognition.
By studying this fascinating book, the reader will certainly learn a great deal, discover things that are unexpected, and see how rapidly and inexorably chess development approached the computer era.
*By the most famous chessplayer of all time
*Part 1 of the Modern Chess Series, follow-up to My Great Predecessors

Summary: Serious Chess....Great book, ..Great Kasparov hit
Comment: The books says 70's, but have a nice game's selection, from different decades, Kasparov knew the key games to explain the develoment of the oppening.
He does not give, infinite variation, (like Kasparov used to) he argue the approach at that time, and how new lines appear, this book in my personal opinion has better redatation from the Great Predecessor's collection, just for the approach.
This book was publish after Prdecessor's colectiion, but is not a sequel, this book focus to the opening, Predecessor focus on players and owesome games. A huge diferent.
If you are parent, coach, beginer player, people who wants to take chess seriouslly, must have this book.
I don't see any problem for beginer player buy this book, maybe they have to spend more time to understand, but will help any chess player.
If you are chess player, who wants to improved your chess skills, this book only helps to understand openning theory, only if already have choosen your opening.
How does the book work?
The book have been divided in 24 chapter, each chapter approach to one opening. Kasparov marked the approach of the game and opening theory in particular variations, and how the process continues that overturned traditional impression.
All games as seen through the explication of leading player who were at the forefront of the develoment of chess theory during modern era.
This book help me a lot to understand opening, and remenber the ideas, (acourding to the approach) and i can memorize easily.
Thanks, i hope this rewien help you a little.

Summary: Interesting bu t Flawed
Comment: Leaving aside Kasparov's personal greatness at the board, it feels to a certain extent that he is fishing for a subject in this volume. Certainly much of opening theory was revised in the 70s, but the sixties and the eighties also had great revisions of chess theory. I think his point is that the dissemination of information was starting to really pick up speed with the release of Informator, but whether or not that really changed the process of opening research or merely aided it is still an open question. As mentioned above there are some proofing mistakes, but the biggest issue I have with the book is that I'm not sure there really was a revolution in the 70s. Interestingly, if you read the interviews at the end (the most interesting part in my opinion) then you can see that many GMs also think no revolution really occurred in opening theory in the 70s.

Summary: A smash by Kasparov
Comment: Iwas born and grew up in the city where kasparov had been born and lived, in Baku. My father used to know him well and his long time fellow and driver, Kolya, used to be a frequent guest at our place...
I have been told so many stories about kasparov, read so many books by him, tried to imitated his style of playing...
That book is another one typical for Garry. Impulsive, strong, featured, inspiring... Full of theory and game analysis it will be a treasure for amateur and professional chess players.
Read it or you will lose a chance to face another truth by kasparov. You will either enjoy it or will have some food for thought.

Summary: good book for the serious chess player
Comment: This book will probably be of most value to serious or aspiring chess players. Kasparov provides an interesting account of advances in chess theory in the 1970s, with a section in which he asked for the opinions of other leading grandmasters whose comments are also enlightening. A book that probably anyone seriously interested in chess and its history will find of interest and value.

Summary: Good book, great subject, poor chess proofreading
Comment: While I enjoy the material covered in this book as much as I have Kasparovs "My Great Predecessor" series', and the GM interviews at the end are delightful, there's numerous errors in the games throughout the book. For instance the Caro-Kann section lists games as starting out as a French (1.e4 e6), and while it's technically possible to transpose into the CK from the French these don't. The errors occur just often enough to be frustrating.
However it's still a great look back through time at the players and theory that shaped the modern game.
