The Mammoth Book of the World's Greatest Chess Games by Graham Burgess et al
This book presents a hundred of the greatest games in chess history from 1834 to 1997 complete with annotations. The aim of the book is to help the reader gain a greater understanding of all aspects of chess and consequently, as well as selecting games for their quality and historical significance, the authors also considered the instructive value of each game presented.
Each game starts with biographical information about the players and a summary of the game. The game and its detailed notes follow, with a final review of the game's most instructive points. A superb book!
Fire on Board by ShirovAlexei Shirov became a Grandmaster in 1990 and is a challenger for the title of World Champion. This book contains a selection of his best games.
Most Instructive Games of Chess Ever Played : 62 Masterpieces of Chess Strategy by Irving ChernevThis is an excellent book because it really emphasises the underlying positional and tactical themes of the games presented. For example the significance of the Knight on d5 as a tool for killing the opponents counterplay is vividly demonstrated by a key game whereby White sacrifices a pawn to obtain it there. Another game by Tal shows how strong the King can be in the endgame, with it marching into the enemy camp snatching pawns. The games presented are definitely as instructional as the book claims!
