The 'recognised' authority (at least by... herself) benefits from a media aura that most cannot even dream of, the authority, I say, Dvoretzky, goes so far as to write in a 2008 book (11 years after Shirov's book, at a time when analysis engines have considerably evolved) that "the comments, though detailed, are surprisingly weak". But the same author hastens to add, recognising notwithstanding the sheer genius of that "the play in front of Shirov's chessboard was practically faultless".
