Sorry to hear that. Mr Klovans was a frequent guest in tournaments in my area, and he played for a local club for more than a decade. He was a friendly and humble man - and a lion at the chess board.

There are not many players who managed to outplay Dvoretsky, Taimanov and Karpov as Black. So it is appropriate to play through these games, now he is not with us anymore.

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.
