    The album includes the best works of the recognized master for 50 years of creative activity. Photo by Boris Dolmatovsky. For those who are engaged in chess, this authorship (in the magazine "64", in chess books, on the pages of newspapers, in particular, in the "Red Star") has become habitual for the last ten years. I respect the creativity of a great photo artist. For the first time drew attention to a photo of Boris Georgievich, published in "64": my parents met me at the airport on arrival from Baguio after a difficult match with Viktor Korchny in 1978. Since that moment it became a habit: if there is a major event in chess - see the photo of Boris Dolmatovsky. Somehow I was invited to perform in Greece, and I suggested that the photo maker make me a company. After Boris Georgievich handed me a bunch of photos about this trip, my wife Natalia (she is trying to collect all my photos) gave such an assessment: - Now I see what professional photography means! Of the major works of Boris Georgievich in recent years, I am pleased to note that he accompanied all the Aeroflot Open tournaments held by the Association of Chess Federations. In short: the signature "photo of Boris Dolmatovsky" is the highest quality mark in photojournalism. 12th world champion Anatoly Karpov
