In Volume 1, he presents eight of his most brilliant efforts from the years 1949-1979, among them games against Smyslov, Geller, Tal, Huebner and Karpov.

In each case Kortchnoi describes in detail the story around the game, never beating around the bush, sometimes harshly criticizing his opponents, but also lavishing praise on them when this is warranted.

A highlight is the game against Karpov from the match for the world championship in Baguio 1978. All in all, "My Life for Chess Vol. 1" offers more than three hours of first-class chess training, plus an extensive interview.
