Tal, Petrosian, Spassky et Korchnoi
Ce livre décrit la rivalité intense – et la collaboration – des quatre joueurs qui ont marqué l'âge d'or des échecs soviétiques, période durant laquelle ils dominaient le monde. Il comprend plus de 200 parties annotées, ainsi que des détails personnels, dont beaucoup sont publiés pour la première fois en anglais.
Mikhaïl Tal, le Letton roublard et au destin tragique qui a révolutionné la façon dont les joueurs d'échecs conçoivent l'attaque et le sacrifice ; Tigran Petrosian, le brillant Arménien dominé par sa femme, qui l'a poussé à devenir le meilleur joueur du monde ; Boris Spassky, le prodige qui a survécu à la famine et à des accès de mélancolie pour succéder à Petrosian, mais dont on se souvient surtout pour sa défaite face à Bobby Fischer ; et « le Maléfique » Viktor Korchnoi, dont le mélange de génie et de jalousie lui a permis de surpasser finalement ses trois rivaux (mais le destin lui a refusé le titre qu'ils ont obtenu : celui de champion du monde).
