I can say that every such match is not an easy test, requiring maximum intensity of spiritual and physical strength. To win the champion, the champion does not always have a purely chess ability, knowledge, memory - the same opponent has the same qualities that won the competition in the series of qualifying competitions. And yet the champion is often the champion ... That's why in the history of chess until recently there were not so many of them - only thirteen. Now the chess world is present at the birth of a new system of competitions for the world championship. It seems that the element of the case will play a significant role in it. This is explained by the increased pace of life, the need to make chess more spectacular for those who do not understand the deep meaning of chess moves. It's a pity if the champions of the future do not become genuine idols for connoisseurs of our wonderful game, to which this informative book is addressed.
