Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Victor Korchnoi is one of the greatest figures in chess history, which he has helped to shape for nearly 50 years now. Now, at the beginning of the 21st century, the aggressive style of the now over 70yearold is undiminished and as aweinspiring as ever. At tournaments with numerous entrants, the naturalized Swiss citizen leaves worldclass players young enough to be his grandchildren far behind him.It is high time, therefore, to update Viktor Kortshnois autobiography Chess is my life, which met with great interest on its publication more than 20 years ago. In long interviews, Victor Korchnoi has completely retold his life story. The memories of his childhood in the besieged Leningrad, his time as a student of the university of his home town (now Saint Petersburg), his rise to the top of the major chess power USSR and the years before and after his defection to the West in 1976 are also of significance as contemporary documents of a life spent in the former Soviet Union. The volume also includes many photographs as well as a number of games with comments in typical Korchnoistyle and which are of decisive importance for his brilliant chess career.
