This chess history book examines the lives of five of the greatest players in chess history: Vasily Smyslov, David Bronstein, Yefim Geller, Mark Taimanov, and Yuri Averbakh.
It shows how fate shaped each career in different ways, from Bronstein’s near-death escape during the Nazi era to Taimanov’s loss to Bobby Fischer, Geller’s missed world-title dream, Averbakh’s long road to becoming the world’s oldest grandmaster, and Smyslov’s one-year reign as world champion.
