Mikhail Botvinnik: The Life and Games of a World Chess Champion
Andy Soltis
Little has been written about world chess champion from 1948 to 1963 Mikhail Botvinnik. This book explores his dual career - as a highly regarded scientist and the first truly professional chess player - as well as his complex relations with Soviet leaders, his bitter rivalries, and his effort to create the perfect chess-playing computer program.
