This book not only presents the most interesting games and other chess highlights of the 38 th Chess Olympiad "Dresden 2008", but also includes interviews and behind-the-scenes chat from players, coaches and observers alike. Among the contributors to this souvenir volume are those who had themselves been playing for gold medals on the stage in front of large crowds of spectators and others who could be proud of their individual achievements or whose teams performed above expectations.These players not only comment on the action at the board but also reveal their private pre-match preparation and post-mortem analysis.
