books in which grandmasters analyze their own games

Can you recommend me books in which grandmasters analyze their own games?

You'll probably get more success with post game video analysis on Youtube. There is a magazine, Chess Life, which goes back a while. They covered tons of statewide tournaments 50+ years ago.

A great one is Learn From The Grandmasters (the first edition much better than the revised one). Also the book of the Second Piatigorski cup (from 1966)--where both players analyze their games.

Thank you

Capablanca - "Chess Fundamentals"

Capablanca - "World's Championship Matches,1921 and 1927"

Alekhine "My best games of chess, 1908-1937"

Alekhine, Tal, and Fischer wrote classic and accessible works. Python Strategy is a volume edited largely from Petrosian's own notes. Kasparov's series on his own games is a bit more readable than the Great Predecessor series (although maybe this is just true of his early games, I'm not sure, they're the only ones I've read). I loved the games that Kramnik analyzed in My Life and Games. I've heard that Timman's Titans, Bent Larsen's Best Games, and Fire on Board by Alexei Shirov are excellent, and have a lot of explanatory prose, but I haven't read them yet. I would suggest that you choose someone who played some of your openings and look for lots of explanations rather than long variations, which should be apparent just by browsing a few pages.

Thanks you for all

Tal's account of his first championship match with B-vinnik is delightful. Honest, insightful, heartwarming.

The Fischer and Kasparov books are mostly ghost written by others. Larsen is the real thing. Alekhine is fun because his insights are real, but his attempts to draw wide-spread sweeping conclusions about openings are often wrong.

Even Kotov wrote a book on his own games & R Fine ... L Portisch so many players yes Gelfand Smyslov Shirov (Not sure ) but yes there is a long list & many fine games that can be looked at with the help of Stockfish as well at your side
