In 1946, the world champion Alexander Alekhin passed away to the undefeated. A difficult question arose: how to determine the new, sixth in a row of a chess king? In the end, in 1948, the International Chess Federation (FIDE) held a match-tournament of five grandmasters, in which I had a chance to participate. Botvinnik won, and over the next quarter century, only Soviet chess players directly fought for the title of champion. Their hegemony was violated only by Fisher, but not for long ...
"on my lot fell in a sense of the connecting link between different generations of chess players. I played with those who are presented in this volume, and with those whose main achievements will be reflected in the third, last volume of anthology, which included matches with the participation of Karpov and Kasparov.
The book that you hold in your hands covers the period of the championship of Botvinnik, Smyslov, Taly, Petrosyan, Spassky and Fisher. Of course, all the world champions, without exception, made their significant contribution to the development of our game. But still, remembering the old days, I think that I was lucky - I found the Golden Age chess, the time when they were primarily art. Now they have become much more than a gaming, sports element that has never been the main thing for me.
I am glad to get into the light of this interesting and desired three -volume. For the first time, all the commented parties of all matches for the world championship from 1886 to 1998 were together. In addition to the encyclopedic, the publication also has significant educational value, since at all times people studied primarily in the parties of the champions. The reader will receive just the pleasure of this book, because real chess always delighted people with their depths, beauty and harmony. ""
