Description

Explore the dramatic lives of legendary chess figures in this compelling multibiography from McFarland. This book follows the journeys of five distinct Grandmasters: Smyslov, Bronstein, Geller, Taimanov, and Averbakh. Through their stories, you witness how single decisions and unexpected turns of fate shaped their careers and lives. Discover the high stakes of professional chess, from David Bronstein's narrow escape from Nazi forces to Mark Taimanov's shifting status following his match with Bobby Fischer. Learn about Yefim Geller's struggle against his rivals and Yuri Averbakh's long-standing legacy as the world's oldest grandmaster. As the only one of this group to become world champion, Vasily Smyslov's reign provides a central point of comparison for these extraordinary lives. This volume is more than a collection of biographies; it is a deep look at the human element behind the board. With 220 games included, readers can study the moves that defined these champions while learning about the personal triumphs and losses that occurred off the board. It is an essential read for chess enthusiasts and historians looking to understand the legends of the game.
