The story of a ruthless maniac who killed only to fill the chessboard with victims. The author reveals the motives of the killer, Alexander Pichushkin. Shows how step by step from a dysfunctional teenager grew a monster. How he was influenced by his mother, stepfather, buddies and mass culture. Horrifying and strange look not only deadly ideas Pichushkin, but also the behavior of his victims.
"He didn't rape anyone, he never took anything of value, he considered it vile and low. He just killed. He liked to feel his power at the moment when a person's life was in his grasp." People were disappearing in the Bittsevo forest. Panic rumors were creeping across Russia. Criminalists were catching copycats, and Alexander Pichushkin still continued to add to his "chess collection"... "I played with them. I knew perfectly well where the patrols stood, and always calmly passed by them. They didn't do anything useful, and they couldn't interfere with me in any way, no matter how hard they tried. They just made me laugh and boosted my self-esteem. Everyone was on their ears because of the Beatsev maniac, but they said hello to me, and no one refused to have a drink." What helped catch the killer? His mistakes? Or the correct calculation of the investigators? Perhaps to be caught and become known to the whole world - this was the terrible plan of a psychopath and sadist!? Answers to these many other questions will be heard for the first time in this book.
