In the USSR championships, beginning with the first All-Union Olympiad (1920) and ending with the last, 58th Allied Forum (1991), all the best chess players of the country, including eight world champions took part!

    Центральным событием шахматной жизни всегда было сражение за мировую шахматную корону. Кто решал судьбу шахматной короны? Кто принимал участие в чемпионатах мира? Как развивалась борьба? Кто в конце концов становился обладателем почетного приза? Ответы на эти вопросы дает книга председателя Комитета Международной шахматной федерации (ФИДЕ) «Шахматы — искусство», заслуженного тренера СССР, международного гроссмейстера Э. Гуфельда и члена Союза журналистов Украины, мастера спорта Украины Е. Лазарева. Читатели ознакомятся с самыми яркими партиями соревнований, многие из которых комментировали чемпионы мира, известные гроссмейстеры. Как быстро летит время! Кажется, что совсем недавно состоялся первый матч за шахматную корону — а ведь с тех пор пролетело уже более ста лет... Если бы шахматная корона могла говорить... Это была бы драматическая повесть о человеческих судьбах, о взлетах и падениях, о надеждах и крушениях, о неожиданных потерях и удивительных находках. Перелистаем страницы летописей короны. Ее судьба решалась десятки раз. Каждому из таких событий посвящен отдельный очерк. Рассмотрим по одной партии из каждого чемпионата мира, в котором разыгрывался титул чемпиона по шахматам. Подберем эти партии так, чтобы вспомнить комментарии к ним самих участников или авторитетных гроссмейстеров, в том числе чемпионов мира и претендентов. С поединками последнего десятилетия ознакомимся более подробно. Вниманию читателей предложены многие партии этих соревнований. Для широкого круга читателей.

    Kemeri 1937 was a chess tournament held in the resort town Ķemeri, Latvia, at the Gulf of Riga from 16 June to 8 July 1937. There were three co-winners: Samuel Reshevsky, Salo Flohr and Vladimir Petrovs. Petrovs was one of the world's leading chess players in the late 1930s (e.g., the 8th Chess Olympiad at Buenos Aires 1939), but due to the political tragedies that befell the Baltic states in World War II, he became a victim of the Soviet oppression and perished in Kotlas (Russia) gulag in 1943. Alekhine and Keres tied for 4th through 5th. Endre Steiner from Hungary captured sole 6th with six points, followed by Saviely Tartakower Ruben Fine for 7th and 8th respectively

    The author set himself a difficult goal: to create a kind of meditator's guide based on the material of the international tournament of grandmasters. Grandmaster Bronstein is famous for the depth of the game, an original understanding of the laws of chess. This is manifested in the games of the grandmaster that bypassed the world press and fully refers to his comments. Numerous positive, and sometimes laudatory reviews of the first literary work of D. Bronstein, the benefits brought by the book according to readers' reviews, indicated that the author successfully coped with the task. The second edition is slightly reduced compared to the first due to the elimination of obsolete material. The introductory article was supplemented, and the errors noted in the first edition were eliminated.
