{"product_id":"world-championship-candidates-tournament-holland-1956-9781843820864","title":"World Championship Candidates' Tournament - Holland 1956","description":"Winning the candidates' competition is the ultimate and uniquely necessary passport to achievement of glory on the World Chess Championship stage. Only four contenders in the organised history of the World Chess Championship have ever succeeded in winning the \"Candidates\" twice - these were Spassky, Korchnoi, Karpov and Vassily Smyslov. Having won the 1953 Candidates and drawn with Botvinnik in 1954, Smyslov returned to the charge with an equally devastating performance in the 1956 qualifier, surging ahead of Keres, Bronstein, Spassky, Geller and Petrosian. Combined with the companion Hardinge Simpole volume on the World Championship Candidates Tournament of 1953 this book completes a record of staggering tournament expertise and determination by the immortal Smyslov.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11461867\"\u003eBaruch (Barry) H.
