The Parallel Lives of Alekhine and Capablanca I am convinced that to cultivate the memory of the past and to study the classics is always useful and worthwhile, not least because it enables us to understand and face with greater awareness the facts and the problems of the present time. Much has already been written about the giants who have preceded us, and in particular, the Cuban, José Raúl Capablanca, and the Russo-Frenchman, Alexander Alekhine, but a new approach can surely offer different and interesting perspectives. |

The Inside Story of the Legendary 1972 WCC When the Icelandic Chess Federation made a bid to host the 1972 world title match between Soviet icon Boris Spassky and American challenger Bobby Fischer, many Icelanders were rightly shaking their heads in disbelief. How could their small island country in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with a population of less than 300 thousand people stage such a prestigious event in the first place? |

Grandmaster Vladimirs Petrovs Dur short life together was fun, fascinating and happy. I accompanied my husband to chess tournaments. We traveled a lot, saw a lot, met the most interesting people.

Now, when I turn the pages of my life and remember my family, which was obliterated so ruthlessly, the old wounds open again and start bleeding. |

A Journey Through the World of Chess Improvemen I was once dismissive of the attempts by amateur players to improve. To me it seemed too obvious – you either had it or you hadn’t. Talent was ultimately all that mattered. All my writing on chess was really for myself. If amateur players couldn’t follow, tough. |

I found strange that there are almost no books about his games, because Ljubojevi\'e6 reached number 3 in the world rankings and he was a potential candidate for the world title. |

"Chess is not for the faint of heart," Steinitz once said. I agree 100%! Chess players do not need pumped up muscles, they need a stable neuropsychic organization. How else can you resist the constant pressure that every nerve cell of the player experiences? I don’t always like this constant struggle with the stress that hangs over you, especially when you are wrong in a winning position. |

Ein Schachbuch von Dilettanten für Dilettanten Robert Hübner ist immer für Überraschungen gut. Neben vielen Aufsätzen und gelegentlichen Vorträgen deutete dies bereits sein Erstlingswerk Fünfunfünzig feiste Fehler von 1990 an. Er ist wohl der einzige deutschsprachige Autor, der es nicht nur liebt, sondern auch versteht, fundierte Schachanalysen hin und wieder mit einer Prise hintergründigem und zuweilen skurrilem Humor zu würzen, ohne dabei den Bezug zur Lebenswirklichkeit zu verlieren. Das ist auch bei seinem neuesten Werk mit dem Titel SCHUND der Fall. |

Introduction Half a century ago I left a country, the red color of which dominated a large portion of the world map. One way or another, the fate of almost every single person described in this book is forever linked with that now none-existent empire. Many of them ended up beyond its borders too. Cultures and traditions, and certainly not least of all a Soviet mentality, couldn’t have just left them without a trace. Having been transplanted into a different environment, they had to play the role of themselves apart from certain corrections with regard to the tastes and customs of a new society. Nevertheless, every one of them, both those who left the Soviet Union, and those who stayed behind, were forever linked by one common united phenomenon: they all belonged to the Soviet school of chess. |
