    «The idea of continuing the autobiographical book “Steps” has been in the air almost since the moment it was written. Despite the bullet point at the end of the book in the form of a victory over Magnus Carlsen, my chess career continued for another full 14 years, and the subsequent stormy socio-political career is only gaining momentum.” (V. Bologan).  The book contains 75 games commented in detail and a number of fragments.

    Preface: "For this second volume of the 'Caissa Limited Editions' we have chosen a facsimile edition of the tournament book for the City of London Chess Club Tournament in 1900. Though this tournament is not of the very first rank, the tournament book itself is scarce and the games little known; yet with an entry of Teichmann, Gunsberg, Mason, and England's greatest player, Blackburne, it was certainly not an insignificant event.

    Das Kandidatenturnier zur Schach-WM von 1953 ist zweifellos als eine der Sternstunden in die Schachgeschichte eingegangen. 15 Großmeister der absoluten Spitzenklasse ermittelten seinerzeit in Zürich in einem wahrhaft gigantischen Wettkampf über 30 Runden den Herausforderer für die Schachkrone. Ein Glücksfall war, daß zu den Kandidaten dieses Schachmarathons auch der Autor dieses Buches gehörte. Dem exzellenten Analytiker David Bronstein, der damals den ehrenvollen zweiten Platz belegte, verdanken wir so ein einmaliges Turnierbuch. In einer Umfrage der populären Zeitschrift "The British Chess Magazine" nach dem besten Schachbuch, das je geschrieben wurde, kam der Titel des sowjetischen Großmeisters unter 101 Bewerbern auch Rang zwei. David Bronstein (Vizeweltmeister 1951) gibt in diesem Turnierbuch einen tiefen Einblick in die Denkweise der Supergroßmeister. Er ist tiefsinnig, unterhaltend und selbstkritisch. Das Buch hat eigentlich 5 Sterne verdient, doch hat der deutsche Herausgeber leider einige Kürzungen gegenüber der russischen Originalausgabe ("mezhdunarodnij turnir grossmeisterov") vorgenommen. Der komplette Text ist auch noch in der englischen Ausgabe ("The Chess Struggle in Practice") zu erhalten. Hingewiesen sei noch auf das Buch von Max Euwe (WM von 1935-37) zum gleichen Turnier "Schachelite im Kampf", erschienen als Reprint im Olms Verlag Zürich.

    Un torneo largo no es una simple colección de partidas. Si además los participantes son los jugadores más fuertes del mundo las partidas adquieren entionces una marcada interconexión: están llenas de ideas que cristalizan y se desarrollan durante el curso de la competición y ésta, entretanto, representa un estadio particular en el desarrollo del pensamiento ajedrécistico... Las partidas de un torneo de grandes maestros acercan al lector a la esfera creativa de los líderes del ajedrez y muestran como va tomando forma la batalla, cómo se va creando un ambiente ajedrecístico. El autor se ha centrado en el área más inexplorada y más interesante del ajedrez: EL MEDIO JUEGO y su tratamiento por parte de los maestros de hoy, esta es la orientación básica de esta obra..." David Bronstein.
