Kaitlyn Caspero
In 2001, he expressed a desire to devote his time to promoting the new chronology after his chess career. The fifth volume, devoted to the chess careers of world champion Karpov and challenger Korchnoi, was published in March 2006. The 202-page book analyses the 1999 Kasparov versus the World game, and holds the record for the longest analysis devoted to a single chess game.
