    In 1972, an epic chess match took place in Iceland between representatives of the two great super-powers of the world: Bobby vs. Boris. Boris was backed by the Mighty Soviet Union, with late night phone calls coming from his handlers in Moscow, telling him what his next move should be. Meanwhile, Bobby stood alone against the might of the opposing nation. But, Bobby was not exactly alone. The Americans did not need to tell him what moves to make on the chessboard. Bobby already knew how to do that. Rather, what the Americans needed to do was somehow to get him to sit down at the board and play the game.

    Как можно соединить в одной книге стремительность и дотошность, увлекательность для гроссмейстера и занимательность для любителя или даже профана; лиричность и объективность? Можно, вообще-то, и по-разному. Но в данном случае это следствие самой личности автора. Гарри Каспаров, тринадцатый чемпион мира по шахматам. Человек кипящий и порывистый, жесткий и целеустремленный, увлекающийся и политический человек. В сотрудничестве с Дмитрием Плисецким он воспроизводит историю шахматного чемпионства - в этом, первом томе – от Стейница до Алехина. Уже в каком-то "наполеоновском" предисловии Каспаров сразу высвечивает несколько важнейших моментов: всего 14 человек за 117 лет были сильнейшими за доской. Это раз И два: все чемпионы, да и их предшественники – дофидешные великие шахматисты были теснейше связаны с ценностями того общества, в котором жили и творили… Так Каспаров распахивает дверь книги и сразу, уже на пороге ясные, рациональные характеристики всех четырнадцати чемпионов. Включая себя, что важно, и без кокетливой скромности Каспаров пишет "Я" и трезво ставит себя в контекст эпохи и игры. Скажу шепотом: "мы, со многими из вас играем в шахматы на уровне детского сада. И буквы, цифры и позиции для нас китайская грамота. Но почитаем комментарии Каспаров к партиям, которые настолько широким радиусом освещают мир вокруг доски, не отвлекаясь ни на секунду от сути происходящего, что мы невольно втягиваемся во вселенную черно-белых фигур и черно-белых клеток". Но и комментирует Каспаров не только сам. О каждом чемпионе – будто интервью дают – говорят в книге все другие, что физически могли знать о нем. Итак, Гарри Каспаров Мои великие предшественники, т.1, "От Стейница до Алехина". Рипол Классик, Москва 2003. А томов будет еще два.
