Introduction to the english 2nd edition by Max Euwe (+the introduction by D. Bronstein).
Grandmaster David Bronstein's Zurich International Chess Tournament, 1953 is widely considered . It features deep, instructional annotations for all 210 games from the legendary Candidates tournament, serving as a masterclass in middlegame strategy.
The book of a strong tournament is more than just a games collection. When its participants are the world's strongest players . . . the tournament as a whole represents a step forward in the development of chess creativity. We may take as examples of such tournaments the events at St. Petersburg 1914, New York 1924, Moscow 1935, and Groningen 1946. Beyond doubt, Zurich-Neuhausen 1953 deserves a place among them.
David Bronstein ventured this evaluation of Zurich 1953 just three years after the event, in the preface to the first Russian edition of this book. Since that time the 210 games of the legendary tournament have only grown in stature. Most knowledgeable chess players now rate it the greatest tournament since World War II, and possibly the greatest tournament of all time.
