Партии, биография, фото, статистика. Василий Васильевич Смыслов (р. 1921) стал в 36 лет седьмым в истории шахмат чемпионом мира (1957-58). Шесть предыдущих шахматных королей брали заветный рубеж с первой попытки. А те, кто не смог осилить действующего чемпиона, в дальнейшем, как правило, не проявляли своих амбиций, оставаясь в роли "великих неудачников". Вопреки сложившейся традиции, Смыслов первым вошел в одну реку дважды и сумел повторить звездный путь. Когда он, наконец, завоевал титул сильнейшего шахматиста планеты, создалось впечатление, что это тот самый "корабль", у которого нет уязвимых мест, напротив, все говорило о его "комфортабельности и благоустроенности". Увы, на каждый шахматный "титаник" находится рано или поздно свой шахматный "айсберг". Им стал для Смыслова тот, которого он еще недавно так блестяще победил, - Ботвинник. Уже через 12 месяцев Василий Смыслов стал экс-чемпионом мира. Но "калиф на год" оставался грозным шахматным бойцом еще долгие и долгие годы. Еще одним способом его самовыражения стала музыка. Красивый баритон, как и шахматный талант, унаследовал он от отца. Не случайно он повторял: "Чемпионами не становятся, а рождаются!". Внешне он не производит впечатление опасного бойца - типичный скромный интеллигент, с неторопливой походкой и загадочной улыбкой. Это для непосвященных, а вот для шахматного фантазера Д. Бронштейна образ Смыслова порой ассоциировался с поступью медведя, напролом бредущего по шахматным дебрям, и горе тому, кто нечаянно попадется на его дороге!
