THE GREATEST ATTACKER IN CHESS - CYRUS LAKDAWAL...

Rashid Nezhmetdinov (1912-1974) played fearless attacking chess. With his dazzling style  the
Soviet master already was a legend during his lifetime  but international fame largely eluded
him. Only once did he get permission to show his exceptional talent in a tournament abroad.Five
times Nezhmetdinov was chess champion of the Russian Federation. In the 1961 Soviet
Championship  he won the Best Game prize for a spectacular win against Mikhail Tal who praised
his opponent for his amazing creativity. Other stars that Nezh defeated in grand style included
Spassky  Polugaevsky  Bronstein  and Geller.His games  full of tactical pyrotechnics  are his
legacy and have reached an ever-growing audience. Nezhmetdinovs shocking strategic queen
sacrifice  in 1962 against Chernikov  as shown on Agadmators YouTube channel  has become the
best-watched chess video of all time with millions of views.In this book  Cyrus Lakdawala pays
tribute to the genius of the enigmatic Nezhmetdinov  a Tatar who grew up as an orphan in the
part of the Soviet Union that is now Kazakhstan. In more than one hundred impressive and
instructive games and positions  Lakdawala shows how Nezhmetdinov fought for the initiative 
how he bluffed and sacrificed  and how he kept his cool to out-calculate his opponents.
Lakdawalas lucid writing perfectly matches the power of Nezhs moves. This wonderful collection
celebrates Nezhmetdinov as the Greatest Attacker in Chess.
