There aren't many chess players who can say they've both beaten Garry Kasparov in an official blitz game and crushed Peter Leko in a classical game in 26 moves. And who regularly win blitz tournaments high on marihuana. But then Manuel Bosboom is not an ordinary chess player. The Dutch International Master never made it to the top in chess, but over the course of his swashbuckling career he has produced an astonishing amount of brilliantly creative games. When Manuel Bosboom enters the room, a smile appears on every chess player's face. This book offers a captivating collection of games and it also describes the eventful life of the 'Wizard from Zaandijk'. You will be treated to many a stunning chess move, a wealth of humorous and touching stories and a vivid impression of the Dutch chess scene in the late 20th and early 21st century.
