A fascinating story about one of the most remarkable chess players of the past century. To some extent, the book reflects the 20th century. Here is the end of tsarism, the October Revolution and the formation of the Soviet state, and universal education, and ... the popularity of chess! There is a gallery of figures of art, literature, science, rulers of the state, sports leaders. And most importantly - portraits of ordinary people, who are the very essence of Russian land. One can understand how science, culture (including chess), and the life of the people themselves are adapting to the changing structures of public life, changing ideology; Adapts to, as far as possible, develop successfully. Yes, the conditions in which people operate are changing. They dissolve in history over time, but genuine achievements remain.
Chess passed through his whole life; they forced to think, strive for truth - otherwise you won’t win at the chess table - and tempered character. These "chess" qualities were subsequently used both in engineering and in cybernetics. This is a story about how an ordinary boy, who was born back in tsarist Russia, was educated (already in Soviet times), became an engineer, and then a scientist.
