And then fate gave the brilliant chess player a test of strength: he stumbled twice at the decisive moment and remained beyond the threshold of interzonal tournaments ... Only ten years after his first great success, Spassky managed to pass all the qualifying tests and earn the right to a match for the crown, but he failed to defeat the Iron Tigran Petrosian the first time. It took three more years of super–efforts: by Sisyphus he rose again to the foot of Olympus and did not miss a second chance - in 1969 he became the Tenth king of chess!

    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!

    "Luzhin's Defense" is the third Russian novel by Vladimir Nabokov, which made the author a loud literary name and put him in the first row of writers of Russian foreign countries. Behind the vicissitudes of the life history of the genius of the book, the gifted and crazy Russian émigré chess player Alexander Ivanovich Luzhin, the reader is gradually exposed to the constant and most important theme of Nabokov’s creativity - the development and repetition of secret themes in human destiny. The chess defense developed by Luzhin is gradually becoming an allegory of defense against life itself, in which its sinful consciousness wreaks through some sinister actions like chess moves. In the eventual repetitions of his biography, Luzhin sees the consequence of the fateful actions of his invisible opponent - fate, and, having failed to unravel its hidden patterns, he chooses the only possible solution - exit the game ...
