Title: The Essential Sosonko. Collected Portraits and Tales of a Bygone Chess Era |

This monumental book is a collection of almost 60 portraits and profiles that Genna Sosonko wrote for New in Chess magazine. Detailed name index at the end. The stories have been published in his books: Russian Silhouettes, The Reliable Past, Smart Chip From St. Petersburg and The World Champion I Knew. They are supplemented with further writings on legends such as David Bronstein, Garry Kasparov and Boris Spassky. They paint an enthralling and unforgettable picture of a largely vanished age and, indirectly, a portrait of one of the greatest writers (the greatest one according to Kasparov) on the world of chess. GM Genna Sosonko, born in 1943 in Leningrad, in his time a world-class player. Since 1972 he lives in Holland. Pictures 2 and 3 show contents of the book.
