Masterpieces And Dramas Of The Soviet Championships - Volume I (1920-1937) is the first volume of Sergey Voronkov’s three-volume treatise on the Soviet championships held in 1920-1953. This volume covers the first 10 championships from 1920-1937, plus the title match between Botvinnik and Levenfish.
It features a carefully selected collection of 107 of the best games, commented on mostly by the players themselves and supported by computer analysis. The book also includes around 170 rarely seen photos and cartoons from the period, mostly taken from 1920s-1930s Russian chess magazines.
Readers will find world champion Alekhine, challenger Bogoljubov, and Soviet champions Romanovsky, Bogatyrchuk, Verlinsky, and Rabinovich, along with many other key names from the era, including Riumin, Alatortsev, Makogonov, Rauzer, Ragozin, and Chekhover. Garry Kasparov’s foreword highlights the book’s vivid, novel-like approach and its wider historical perspective.
