Hey, so my coach told me to go over master games.. I know basically any chess book can fit this bill more or less, but I was wondering if there is another source.
For example I really enjoyed going over this Alekhine game;
www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1013477
which I stumbled across because I couldn't understand the finishing tactic which was featured on some app.
I really like this type of Annotation because the format is the explanations are inside the game text, they are very concise and to the point, and they were made by the player himself, so I that feels more meaningful than some other authors perspective and analysis.
In contrast, I found Kasparov's writing in "My Great Predecessors" a bit overwhelming because he includes a large amount of engine analysis and many many variations so it's hard for me as a beginner to understand even what I can skip and what is important... Let alone to set it all up on the board and go back and forth between endless positions... Holding a position in my head and actually understanding variations just by reading is completely beyond my ability for now :)
Upon googling "Master Games with Annotations" you don't really find that many results,
so this is why I'm writing here.
Thx!
