Description:

The Soviet system would not be as meaningless as it really was if it had not provided such a "profitable" sport and recreation for itself as chess, not only by the Chess Federation, not only by the department in the USSR Sports Committee, but also close custody of the "armed detachment of the Communist Party" - the KGB. Due to the secret nature of the work of the KGB, his work with respect to the leading Soviet chess players is described little and, most importantly, one-sidedly, mainly, chess players, who had displeasure in their professional life faced with the "care" of the KGB. Now we have a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the work of the KGB "on the chess front" from inside this organization. The book with the eloquent title "The KGB plays chess" was written by several authors: V.K.Popov, a former employee of the KGB of the USSR; SOUTH. Felshtinsky - Doctor of Historical Sciences, author of journalistic publications; B.F. Gulko - international grandmaster, professional chess player, champion of the USSR in 1977; VL Korchny is the four-time champion of the Soviet Union in chess, the two-time winner of interzonal tournaments, the five-time champion of Europe.
