DESCRIPTION

Sosonko. Siluetas del ajedrez ruso.

The dissolution of the Soviet Union marked the end of a unique chapter in the history of chess. With indsight we can only marvel at the pivotal place the royal game occupied in the biggest country in the world. Originally embraced by Lenin as ‘gymnastics of the mind’, chess developed into an ideological weapon during the Cold War. Supported by the Soviet leadership, chess champions, from Mikhail Botvinnik on, grew into symbols of socialist excellence. As a respected trainer who became a world-class grandmaster after leaving Leningrad and moving to Holland in 1972, Genna Sosonko observes Soviet chess from a privileged dual perspective. Combining an insider’s nostalgia with the detachment of a critical observer, he has produced unforgettable portraits of the heroes of a vanished age. 

This is the Spanish edition.
