Sosonko. The World Champions I Knew.
Sosonko has already staked his claim as the preeminent living literary writer in chess with his previous masterpieces, Smart Chip From St. Petersburg, The Reliable Past, and Russian Silhouettes. Now he’s outdone himself with this book, The World Champions I Knew.
The subject matter is all about World Champions. In fact, even the foreword was written by a World Champion (Garry Kasparov)! The contents:
I Knew Capa – Jose Raul Capablanca
The Paris Years – Alexander Alekhine
The Professor – Max Euwe
Homo Politicus – Mikhail Botvinnik
Death, Where Is Thy Sting? – Vasily Smyslov
A Name as a Gunshot – Mikhail Tal
The Overcoat – Tigran Petrosian
The Caretaker’s Son – Tigran Petrosian
The Main Thing Is Happiness – Tigran Petrosian
What’s particularly interesting about this book is that there’s minimal discussions about chess, the vast majority of material being about the “hidden” aspects of these great men – their personalities, they private lives, their relationships, their idiosyncrasies.
238 pp paperback. Alkmaar, New In Chess, 2013. Condition VG.
