Title: Korchnoi protiv shakhmatnykh vnukov |
|
(in English known as Korchnoi and his Chess Grandchildren). The book features 25 of Viktor Korchnoi’s best games from the latter stages of his glorious career. The latest game is from 2011, when Korchnoi was still potent enough to defeat Fabiano Caruana. The annotations are mainly in Korchnoi’s own words, with insightful additions from other top players and the author. The book includes interviews with chess players, fragments from books and magazines and other information about Viktor The Terrible, how is Korchnoi sometimes called. Viktor Korchnoi, 1931-2016, is often considered the strongest player never to become World Champion. He was already an elite player in the 1950s and remained a formidable force well into the 21st century, capable of beating top players who were young enough to be his grandchildren. Accompanied by many photos, indexes at the end.
