Description
Grandmaster Efim Bogoljubow
by Victor Charushin
For over three decades Efim Bogoljubow dominated the world of chess, along with his rival Alekhine - yet Fate has made the latter name famous while obscuring the former. Now chess enthusiasts can experience the life and games of world championship contender Bogoljubow in the first chess biography by ICCF IM Victor Charushin. Grandmaster Efim Bogoljubow brings together an extraordinary combination of games, history, and images - delivering a total life picture of this dominant chess personality.
Victor Charushin is uniquely qualified to undertake a project of this scope. His command of the subject and easy familiarity with the source material is evident at every turn. One measure of his success is seen in the conviction, which grows stronger with each reading, that Bogoljubow's dramatic story could not have been told any differently! This interactive e-book features 1,247 games by Bogoljubow, plus his compositions and excerpts from his books. Over 625 games are annotated, often by Bogoljubow himself or contemporaries and other great masters.
