Alexander Alekhine. Life as a War
14.99 €
Alekhine is not just a genius and the first Russian world chess champion. He is a man of amazing fate. World and civil wars, bloody revolutions, failed shootings, the loss of his homeland, accusations of collaborationism - Alekhine's life was terribly difficult, but he adapted in an amazing way. And he did his best not to let anyone stop him from practicing the only thing he loved, to which he was maniacally devoted - chess.
Unlike most other books about Alekhine, in this one you will see a board with a full set of chess pieces: you will find detailed stories about the great Lasker, the elegant Capablanca, the NSDAP member Bogoliubov and the Soviet colossus Botvinnik, who were an important part of our hero's destiny. Almost all of Alekhine's life is war. With people, with circumstances... She knew both overcoming and betrayal. And the book by Sports.ru author Stanislav Kuptsov is not even about chess, but rather about a small boat called "life".
