Chess series. Salo Flor. Gorky Czech chocolate. Moshchenko V.

such a book in the chess literature has not yet been! Its author, an excellent prose writer and poet Vladimir Moshchenko (his novel “Blues for Agnieschka” was nominated for the Russian Bucher Award), was friends with Salo Flor for a long time - the famous Czech - Soviet Grandmaster, a contender for the title of world champion. All these years, Salo Mikhailovich believed to him the secrets of his outwardly prosperous, but fulfilled by the inner drama of life - the life of a refugee, deprived of his homeland and forced to play according to other people's rules. From these frank conversations, the book “Gorky Czech Chocolate” was born. “Of course, I am aware,” writes the author, “that a lot has not hit it, and some kind of, perhaps, looks debatable. But it was impossible to pull further. Time does not give the right to silence. "

The book also contains the best examples of the richest combinative creativity of Flora (mainly with its own notes), which makes it an excellent tactic textbook.
