|
Grigory Yakovlevich Levenfish (1889 Piotrkow - 1961 Moscow), spent most of his life in St. Petersburg, where he won the city championship already in 1909. One of the best Soviet players between the wars, 2x USSR champion, attacking style player and excellent tactician. The first 200 pages bring a translation of Levenfish's autobiographical book Izbrannye partii i vospominania (1967) with 79 annotated games, the other about 100 pages contain Levenfish's annotated games from various sources, 30-page afterword by Aagaard, career record, crosstables, indexes. The book title points out that Levenfish was ignored by the Soviet regime, he was the only Soviet GM of his generation who was denied a stipend and was banned from playing abroad. But he never complained about his terms. He was an important theoretician and author of about 10 books, the most famous of which is Ladeynye okonchania (1957, with Smyslov).
