Впервые гроссмейстер комментирует чужие партии, впервые широко приводит варианты, найденные во время аналитической работы. Прежде в комментариях для шахматной периодики он ограничивался теми продолжениями, которые видел за доской в ходе игры. В книге приведена 91 партия турнира. Для подробного анализа отбирались наиболее интересные в творческом плане и важные в спортивном отношении встречи, а так же поединки, представляющие интерес для теории дебютов. Начальной стадии партий уделено особое внимание, причем Иванчук крайне редко обращается к другим источникам, он предпочитает показать собственное видение дебютных схем, многие свои изыскания. Много интересного найдет читатель и в других этапах поединков: примеры расчета сложных комбинаций, поучительные окончания, образцы нестандартных решений и филигранной техники.
