Chess is My Life (Korchnoi)
Viktor Kortsjnois selvbiografi inneholder først og fremst den udødelige mesterens beretning om et begivenhetsrikt liv - både i øst og vest - fra 1931 og inn på 2000-tallet. Boka inneholder også fine fotografier og krydres med et skjønnsomt lite utvalg av åtte godt kommenterte partier som glir inn i historien. Det første er en remis mot verdensmester Botvinnik i Sovjetmesterskapet i 1952.
Denne boka hører hjemme i ethvert sjakkbibliotek. Den leveres sammen med en CD som inneholder alle hans 4280 partier fram til boka kom ut. Boka er fint innbundet med 226 sider.
