The book includes his annotations of games starting from his first steps in international chess up to just before he became world champion. The book contains a prologue by Mikhail Botvinnik and chapters based - for the most part - on each event that he played during that time, chronologically. The games are annotated in fairly great depth, although a few games have lighter annotations; in some of the games from his candidate matches he shows the whole game and then commentary after it dealing with particular moments. However, his old annotations include revisions made in italic font during the preparation for the book. In some of the new commentary he takes a very harsh tone towards the comments he made several years before. The focus in the commentary is not so much the opening - most of the major analysis is devoted to the middlegame or even the ending.
