Extremely generic collection of Michael Adams's games. The games themselves are interesting, but it's normal for the annotator to try and explain a bit about what was going on, or why they chose one move rather than another. Adams seems to have forgotten this most of the time. I'm guessing he was roped into the project and decided he'd just do the minimum to get out again without any fuss.Oddly enough, this must for some reason look like something I'd really enjoy. I own two copies, both gifts from kind people who don't happen to know much about chess.
