Сквозь призму шахмат. О любви и прочем (Skvoz’ Prizmu Shakhmat. O
Lyubvi I Prochem — Through the Prism of Chess: On Love and Other Matters)
Книга эта вовсе не о шахматах. Тогда почему же, собственно, шахматы и шахматисты присутствуют здесь во всех историях? Дело в том, что коллизии, происходящие в шахматах и вокруг шахмат, интересны и поучительны для самых разных аспектов профессиональной, творческой, да и личной жизни. Действительно, взгляд сквозь призму шахмат позволяет лучше высветить самые разные стороны бытия, обнажить главное и отфильтровать несущественное.
