{"product_id":"the-rise-and-fall-of-david-bronstein-9785950043314","title":"The Rise and Fall of David Bronstein","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in Russian in 2014 and written by Genna Sosonko - widely recognized as the number one writer on the history of Soviet chess - this is a truly unique book about the life and destiny of the great chess player David Bronstein (1924-2006). \u003cbr\u003e Emerging from a challenging background - he narrowly escaped the holocaust in WWII, during which he starved, and his father spent seven years in a gulag - Bronstein faced Botvinnik in the world championship match in 1951 and nearly defeated him. But this 'nearly' inflicted a wound on David so deep that it would not heal for the rest of his life. \u003cbr\u003e Sosonko knew Bronstein well. Their conversations - many of which have made it into this book - not only portray the thoughts and character of one of history's most original grandmasters but also take us back to a time unlike any other in world history. This is not a biography in the traditional sense of the word. Rather, Sosonko's fascinating book asks eternal questions which don't have neat and simple answers. \u003cbr\u003e With a foreword to the English edition by Garry Kasparov.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3696027\"\u003eGenna Sosonko\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Limited Liability Company Elk and Ruby Publis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.57d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9785950043314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 5950043316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-GAM\"\u003eGames \u0026amp; Activities\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-GAM001030\"\u003eChess\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Limited Liability Company Elk and Ruby Publis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44590064730349,"sku":"9785950043314","price":37.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_1cca79f8-c184-446c-929b-7a11f5252d30.jpg?v=1702253270","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-rise-and-fall-of-david-bronstein-9785950043314","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
