Smart Chip from St.Petersburg
 |
|
Smart Chip from St.Petersburg contains portraits of players, both famous and forgotten, from the golden age of Soviet chess, as well as highly personal views on the psychology of the game and its players. It radiates the author's love and devotion to chess, yet is tempered by objectivity and detachment. It will enchant not only chess players, but all who recognize the cultural value of chess.
Genna Sosonko lived the first 29 years of his life in Leningrad. He emigrated to Holland in 1972. His first book, Russian Silhouettes, was shortlisted for the world?s premier chess book award, the BCF Book of the Year 2000.
"Each essay is a revelation and a gift, especially for the devotee of the game but for the rest of us as well ? Great photographs and a great read."
JOHN WATSON at THE WEEK IN CHESS on RUSSIAN SILHOUETTES |
