    An excellent teaching aid can serve as the author’s selected games. They are arranged on a thematic basis, and detailed notes to them, as rightly pointed out by P. A. Romanovsky, reveal the “internal meaning of the processes of struggle”. The book includes the author’s games with Alekhine, Botvinnik, Kotov, Levenfish, Bondarevsky, Averbakh and many other major masters. The class of the game in these games is not always the same, but at an invariably high level are deep and informative notes. The autobiography of P. A. Romanovsky is instructive and interesting. It contains curious sketches of pre-revolutionary chess life, a description of the first steps in the development of Soviet chess culture. The author recalls some statements by Alekhine, episodes of various competitions. The main thing, of course, in the autobiography is the story about the formation of the chess view of the Russian master, his creative position now, after almost half a century of service to chess art. There is no doubt that readers with interest and benefit for themselves will become acquainted with the work of the oldest master.
