Reseña del editor:
Starting in 1920, and running through to the early 1990's, when the political break up of the USSR meant the end of the completion, the prestigious Soviet Championships were truly representative events with all of the top Soviet layers participating. Because of the enormous State support for the game in the old USSR, the Championships were usually gladiatorial, all-play-all contests lasting weeks, and the Grandmasters represented the elite of the World Chess. Alekhine, Botvinnik, Keres, Bronstein, Tal, Petrosian, Korchnoi, Geller, Stein, Spassky, Karpov and Kasparov were all winners at least once, and the tournaments have gone down in legend for the quality, and creative inspiration for the games. This book is a permanent record of those extraordinary times. It encompasses every single Championship, giving a report and the full crosstable of results, as well as a carefully chosen selection of the finest and most memorable games. The annotations bring these extraordinary and instructive struggles to life; many important chess ideas and concepts were first discovered in these games. The introductions to each Championship are equally fascinating, as the majority of these tournaments were played against the oppressive political backdrop of communism. Revered chess masters could get away with more than most, but veiled threats by the authorities were always there for those who might consider stepping out of line.
Biografía del autor:
Mark Taimanov, famous Russian Grandmaster and former World Championship Candidate, has selected and annotated all of the games in this book. There can be no one better qualified, as Taimanov himself holds the distinction (along with Geller) of participating in a record 23 Soviet Championships. Bernard Cafferty, who wrote the reports on each Championship, is a fluent Russian speaker and an eminent chess historian. As a former editor of the British Chess Magazine, he has spent decades researching Russian archival literature.
