    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!
