"64 Great Chess Games: Instructive Classics from the World of Correspondence Chess" is a fascinating and in-depth collection of chess games annotated by chess player and author Tim Harding. The book stands out by focusing on games from the world of correspondence chess (CC), a form of the game where players have days or even weeks to consider each move.

This extended time for analysis allows for a level of depth, subtlety, and beauty that is often unmatched in over-the-board (OTB) play. In correspondence chess, players can consult chess literature and physically move pieces on a board to analyze variations, leading to the creation of deeply strategic and complex sacrificial combinations.

Tim Harding, a renowned expert in correspondence chess and a Senior International Master of Correspondence Chess himself, presents 64 of these gems. The games are not just random selections; they have been meticulously re-examined and annotated, sometimes overturning accepted views on famous games. While some of the games included are "less-than-perfect," their instructive value lies in the errors and the reasons they were overlooked, providing valuable lessons for players of all levels.

The games are presented in a roughly chronological sequence, starting with a modern classic and then moving back to the 19th and early 20th centuries, providing a historical journey through the evolution of correspondence chess.

This book is a valuable resource for any chess enthusiast, regardless of whether they play correspondence chess. It offers a unique insight into a different style of play, where time is a friend rather than an enemy, and where deep, complex plans can be worked out and executed with a precision rarely seen in rapid play.
