    The new book of the Dutch grandmaster Genna Sosonko is a kind of continuation of his collection & quot; My testimony & quot; (& quot; Ripol classic & quot;), which has become the most striking event in Russian chess literature in recent years. In the role of Nostradamus is the Dutchman Hein Donner, who was not only a strong grandmaster, but also a brilliant journalist and writer who loved to dress up as a soothsayer. Sosonko, having translated two dozen of his stories into Russian, enters into an in-depth discussion with him. In the preface, he writes: & quot; The book is built on this principle: Donner’s narrative follows first, then my own - on the same topic. I would not be a chess player if I did not consider Donner's story every day as a starting point for the competition, hoping that in any case the & quot; reader would benefit.

    The book of Gennady Sosonko is devoted to the fate of the outstanding chess player David Ionovich Bronshtein. Bronstein's peak occurred in the middle of the last century, when he challenged Botvinnik himself and almost overpowered him, but this "almost" inflicted him a wound that never healed until the end of his life. The author has repeatedly met and talked with Bronstein, and these conversations have not only recreated the thoughts and character of one of the most original grandmasters of the past, but they also bring us back to times that are not simply found in world history. Not being a biography in the classical sense of the word, Sosonko's book, which is read in one breath, goes beyond the limits of the hero's biography, posing eternal questions, to which there is no unambiguous answer.

    The new book of Gennady Sosonko, the third in a series of his works about outstanding chess players (after the books "David Seventh" & about Bronstein and "Knowing harmony" about Smyslov), is devoted to the fate of defector Victor Korchnoi & ndash; one of the most famous Grand Masters of the XX century. His struggle with Karpov, their match in Baguio (1978) on the heat of chess and political passions can be compared, perhaps, only with the opposition Spassky & ndash; Fisher. The author knew Korchnoi closely, worked with him as a second, met at tournaments and at home. Sosonko describes the changes in the life path of his hero with his characteristic brilliance. The book contains many unfamiliar facts, gives a large selection of photographs, including almost completely unknown
