Seller Description
This 53 page book covers the 40th so he hit championship, one by Mikhail Tal in front of Tukmakov and many other strong Soviet players. David Bronstein could only finish 13th, and the future three time USA champion Lev Alburt finished last. The introduction is in English and German, the games are in Russian algebraic notation, and the openings index in German algebraic notation. The notes in Russian are easy to read with the Google translate app. There is neat red marginalia on two pages as shown in the photos and the former owner’s signature on the inside front cover. The book is in otherwise like new condition. It is extremely rare, and I could not find any other copies for sale. There are about 19 annotated games out of 231 total. Own a rare piece of chess history! (I paid about $12 for this book 40 years ago.)
