Series of annotated matches between good players. Forget how many in all. Excellent material, giving very good insight into how top players think. Commentary by Goulding, often in collaboration with Kit Woolsey; both of these guys are very, very strong players. Let's see, the matches are Seidel vs. Hodis; Magriel vs. Sconyers; Genud vs. Posner; Pasko vs. Motakhasses; two (?) 5-point matches in one volume: Lester vs. Horan and Woolsey vs. Pasko; Robertie vs. Senkiewicz; Goulding vs. Maxakuli; Dwek vs. Chafetz; Ballard vs. Lubetkin; Eisenberg vs. Magriel(?); and more I can't remember. I can't recommend this series too highly (though Genud vs. Posner was a lousy match).
