Botvinnik Mikhail. 15 Games and Their Stories

Chess Enterprises, Inc., 1982. — 80 p. — ISBN: 0-9-31462-15-0.Entertaining chess books are as necessary as the theoretical sort. And while I have never written a book of the former category , the present work
is actually a cross between the entertaining and the analytical.Here the reader will find, along with my notes to these fifteen games, something that generally lurks behind the dry text of the game scores. He
will become familiar with what the players go through, along with the funny (and o ccasionally sad) stories that went with th ese games. Pushkin once said: " This tale is fiction, but with a moral I A lesson for good children to heed."These games and their stories may teach t h e reader something of the ethics of chess, and its psychology as well, w h ile he is evaluating the quality of the games and their notes.Thus, the author awaits the readers' sentence: let it be strict, but just! And in conclusion , my sincere thanks to former World Correspondence
Champion Yakov Estrin, for his help in the preparation of this book.
