This book contains not only the best games of former luminaries, re-examined using a computer, but also the “pain points” of chess history - critical, turning points in world championship matches. Champions in chess were replaced for various reasons, and yet the main one was often purely evolutionary: the continuous and rapid development of the game itself. The second volume offered to your attention is dedicated to the life and work of the next four champions - Euwe, Botvinnik, Smyslov and Tal, as well as Keres , Bronstein and Geller.
