A separate large chapter is dedicated to the years of working with Boris Gelfand: during these years (1980-1993), the student progressed from a 12-year-old candidate master to the owner of the 3rd rating in the world. Albert Kapengut is the holder of 6 gold medals from the World Student Olympiads, a seven-time champion of Belarus, a participant in individual and team championships of the USSR among men, and the champion of the USSR as part of the team 'Burevestnik'. The book includes 70 detailed and commented games by the author, a careful study of which will help the reader not only to better understand popular opening schemes but also to develop a taste for serious analytical work. "My story is not so much about a career, although 'you can't throw words out of a song,' but about memorable situations, often funny, sometimes absurd, and with dashes about the people encountered along the way, sometimes with biographical details, prompting readers to seek more complete information..." (A. Kapengut). For a wide range of chess enthusiasts.
