Matchi na pervenstvo mira.Tom 1 - Berdichevskii M.

In 1946, world champion Aleksandr Alekhine passed away undefeated. A difficult question arose: how to determine the new, sixth chess king? After all, in 1948, the World Chess Federation (FIDE) held a match-tournament of five grandmasters, in which I had a chance to participate. Botvinnik won then, and during the next quarter of a century only Soviet chess players directly competed for the title of champion. Their hegemony was broken only by Fisher, but not for long...
My share has had to become in some sense a link between different generations of chess players. Karpova and Kasparov.
Book you hold in your hands covers the period of the championships of Botvinnik, Smyslov, Tal, Petrosyan, Spassky and Fischer.
