Review "an excellent read ...buy this book!" -- John Elburg June 6, 2001 "rich and textured ...a work of brilliance, one deserving far greater readership among chessplayers" John S. Hilbert -- Chess Cafe, May 30, 2001 --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition. Product Description As a respected trainer who became a world-class chess grandmaster after leaving Leningrad and moving to Holland in 1972, Genna Sosonko observes the golden age Soviet chess from a privileged dual perspective. Combining an insider's nostalgia with the detachment of a critical observer, he has produced unforgettable portraits of the heroes of this bygone era: Tal, Botvinnik, Geller, Polugaevsky, and the legendary trainer Zak are some of his subjects. This New Editon has two brand new stories. Delightful --The Washington Post http://www.amazon.com/Russian-Silhouettes-Genna-Sosonko/dp/9056912933/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1301683434&sr=8-1-spell
