Soviet Outcast

Levenfish describes in vivid detail the atmosphere of pre- and post-revolutionary Russia, giving first-hand impressions of some of the most famous names in early-twentieth-century chess, such as Lasker, Rubinstein, Alekhine and Capablanca - all of whom were personally known to him. Soviet Outcast comprises Levenfish's annotations to 79 of his finest games, translated from his Russian autobiography, plus extensive bonus material including several games compiled from other sources.
