PRIZES to win! PROMOTIONS
""Elk and Ruby's excellent series on Viktor Korchnoi continues with this highlyanticipated third volume. After the bizarre, controversial and extremely close world championship of 1978, which saw Korchnoi fight back against Anatoly Karpov from 2-5 down to 5-5, only to fall at the final hurdle, one might think that Korchnoi's story was virtually over, at least in terms of being a major force in the chess world. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth, for this volume 'encompasses Korchnoi's famous world championship match with Karpov at Merano in 1981, his candidates matches against Portisch and Kasparov in 1983, Hjartarson in 1988 and Sax and Timman in 1991, as well as the candidates tournament of 1985 at Montpellier, the GMA world cup series and major tournament performances.' Even by Elk and Ruby's high standards, this is an exemplary series. For Korchnoi fans, every volume is a must-buy, and the same goes for anyone who is simply interested in fighting chess, in which every game is a fullbloodied struggle. As I understand it, there is one volume left to come, which will be published either later on this year or possibly in 2025. Don't be fooled by the post-Baguio era; this volume is every bit as exciting, entertaining and instructive as the first two books in the series."" - Sean March, CHESS Magazine, September 2024
