The Best of Times - BOOK 1 - 1901-1960
Chess is not a parallel universe, nor is it enclosed in a bubble.
The twentieth century is gone, never to return. But its great events on the chessboard deserve to be rescued and appreciated, in what has been, at once, the worst and the best of all time.
Chess is not a parallel universe, nor is it enclosed in a bubble.
The twentieth century is gone, never to return. But its great events on the chessboard deserve to be rescued and appreciated, in what has been, at once, the worst and the best of all time.
Chess is one of the most beautiful manifestations of the game that life has given us and in it, in the world, its work and its history are inscribed.
The book is not only a story: it is also a tribute to the interpreters and protagonists of these events, the chess players, whose main chess gold diggers and wizards of the harlequin board have imprinted their mark in letters of fire on the history of the king of games, throughout the twentieth century.
Not all are heroes. As in life, there are also second-rate players and anti-heroes, some of whom have left us stellar and memorable creations.
Such is the world and such is human nature in its complexity and dialectical interaction.
