Review:
"In my opinion V.Hort was one of the cleverest players in the world. He was a very universal player. He was probably not exceptional in strategy or tactics, but very well balanced in all aspects of the game. Because of this he was always able to change his style to meet new opponents by playing more psychological chess.", Grandmaster Vlastimil Jansa on Vlastimil Hort.
