    With color illustrations. "Battle" was written by us back in the 60's. Then we worked together a lot. But they did not publish us. What we did did not fit into the framework of the then censorship. Already in emigration we published almost everything written before, still in Russia, and this poem was still lying forgotten before my acquaintance with Boris Spassky. Our meeting happened in the house of artist Vitaly Statsinsky at the feast, and then I remembered it and sang it. Then the idea to release it with illustrations of Vitaly was born. In admiration for getting to know my old "idol" I wrote to the grandmaster an initiation - and here is the poem in front of you ... " Alexey Khvostenko

    The question of the influence of the chess “game” health and chess hygiene in general are still a virgin field. There are no special scientific studies in this area. The present work of Dr. L.M. does not pretend to be an independent scientific research. Vasilevsky. This — according to the author himself — only a modest attempt to navigate the problem posed on the basis of partly literary, partly small questionnaire material collected by the author. Many of the biological and hygienic provisions put forward here may cause objections and discussion, but many of them undoubtedly already have practical significance.

    Frankly, I began to read this book with skepticism. And in vain! The further, the more you fall under the charm of the author’s ironic personality. Soft, not humorous humor, ease of thought and style, juicy chess examples with unexpected endings. All this could already be appreciated by the readers of & quot; 64 & quot ;, where several stories that have been included in this collection have been tested.   Most of it is given to the marvelous "landscape gardening" park. chess, filled with the clash of blitz, bikes and brandy. But flashes and leading figures of varying degrees of adulthood. & quot; It was enough for me to cross the street, go to the next school and, catching the little Boria Spassky on the break, strictly ask: "Well, how does Zack teach you there?" & quot; & quot; Here is a meeting with Vitya Korchnoi in besieged Leningrad, and a cruel defeat by the modest pioneer Vova Kramnik, and a surreal simultaneous game session in Spanish Plinares, in which the author beautifully blew Barry Klimovich Bazarov himself ... Truth and fiction, reality and mystification are to separate one from another sometimes as difficult as the vodka from tomato juice in a famous cocktail. But is it worth separating? Drink in small sips at night, and no bad dreams you will not dream!
