From the 1920’s through to the break up of the Soviet Union in the early 1990’s, the Soviet Championship was always one of the year’s strongest chess tournaments. Soviet players regarded the title of Soviet Champion as second only to that of World Champion. State funding for chess meant that the Soviet Union produced an extraordinary number of strong grandmasters who battled it out in these marathon contests. This book encompasses every single championship giving crosstables, selected, annotated games and valuable introductions to each event describing the political machinations that formed the backdrop to these championships. With World Champions galore and 8 pages of photos this is a beautiful book to own.
