Poetical anthology. Series "Jewish Poetry". This is in a way an unexpected book. A successful chess grand master, Olympic champion, twice challenger for World championship, USSR Cup holder, champion of Israel and leader of the national team a few years ago suddenly decreased sporting activity and undertook the research of the nature of his favorite game - thus "IheM.M. of Chess" was born. And now before you is a more ambitious project still - at times lyrical, at times ironical investigation of life itself. In other words — Jewish poetry.
