The Essential Sosonko - Hardcover is a collection of Genna Sosonko’s portraits and profiles of chess champions and personalities, published by New In Chess.
Sosonko writes from a rare dual perspective: he grew up in Soviet chess circles, worked as a chess coach in Leningrad for 29 years, and later became a world-class chess grandmaster after emigrating to the Netherlands. The book gathers writings first published in New In Chess Magazine and includes portraits from his books Russian Silhouettes, The Reliable Past, Smart Chip From St. Petersburg and The World Champion I Knew, plus additional writings on legends such as David Bronstein, Garry Kasparov and Boris Spassky.
The result is a vivid record of a largely vanished era in chess history, bringing figures like Capablanca, Max Euwe, Tony Miles and Sergey Nikolaev to life. Garry Kasparov wrote the Foreword.
