Czech Chess Literature 1806-1945



Author: Voronkov, Sergei
Title: Russkiy sfinks
 
The book is the first serious attempt to understand the personality of Alexander Alekhine. It brings a great deal of information that has not been previously published. The author had been working on the book for 20 years and, by comparing many documents and eyewitness accounts, had found that Alekhine's life was not as we know it from literature. It was much more complicated, contradictory and tragic. Alekhine sometimes evokes sympathy, sometimes rejection – indeed, as with many other Russian personalities whose lives were affected by political events in Russia at the start of the 20th century. Accompanied with 200 photos and illustrations, many of which are published for the first time. The book also contains 42 annotated games. Sergei Voronkov is well known chess writer and historian, author of a trilogy Shedevry i dramy chempionatov SSSR 1920-1953, Russian vs Fischer, Fedor Bogatyrchuk: Doktor Zhivago sovetskikikh shakhmat etc
