The games of Mikhail Botvinnik, world chess champion from 1948 to
1963, have been studied by players around the world for decades.
But little has been written about Botvinnik himself. This book
explores his unusual dual career--as a highly regarded scientist as
well as the first truly professional chess player--as well as his
complex relations with Soviet leaders, including Josef Stalin, his
bitter rivalries, and his doomed effort to create the perfect
chess-playing computer program. The book has more than 85 games,
127 diagrams, twelve photographs, a chronology of his life and
career, a bibliography, an index of openings, an index of
opponents, and a general index.
