Description
Anatoly Karpov needs no introduction. The name of the twelfth World Chess Champion is known even to those who are not particularly interested in the game. The number of his titles, honors, awards, and accomplishments, his interests and activities—everything is off the charts; his schedule is still planned years ahead. And for the first time, this Man of the World has found time for an open account of his path to the Olymp.
How to achieve success? How to stand firm in the world of backroom fuss and clever intrigues? How not to lose yourself while for a long time combining the roles of a great athlete, a statesman, a world-famous philatelist, president of the World Peace Foundation, a deputy of the State Duma, and the head of an enormous number of chess clubs and schools? You will learn about this and more from the gripping autobiography of the champion.
Life in the Soviet Union and modern Russia, travel around the world and impressions of beloved cities and countries, entertaining stories about meetings with great actors, artists, musicians, athletes, and politicians—this is only a part of what the great chess player tells.
For the first time, the full story of his rivalry with Korchnoi and Kasparov is revealed, along with the harsh truth about the struggle with Ilyumzhinov for the post of president of FIDE. This book will be appreciated not only by chess fans and memoir lovers, but also by connoisseurs of history, adventure, political detective stories, and even glossy magazines about the lives of celebrities. After all, Anatoly Karpov has never played such an interesting game before.
