MAKING MY MOVE - VICTOR BOLOGAN KARTONIERT (TB)

Victor Bologan is not only a strong and creative chess grandmaster  he has also made a career
in world chess and in Moldovan politics. His strong will and incredible versatility have
enabled him to lead a colourful and interesting life. ?Believe in yourself' is his motto and it
has taken him to places many of us will never see. A sparkling description of the many roads
Bologan has travelled lies before you. In this autobiography you will read about the adventures
of an enterprising youngster in turbulent Moldova  his collaborations with renowned chess
coaches such as Vyacheslav Chebanenko  Zigurds Lanka and Mark Dvoretsky  and his alliances with
top players such as Alexander Morozevich  Ruslan Ponomariov  Vladimir Kramnik and Garry
Kasparov. The book also offers a candid insight into Bologan's activities as Executive Director
of the World Chess Federation FIDE and his career in Moldovan national politics. Central to
this book  of course  is Bologan's chess career. His most impressive tournament victory was in
Dortmund in 2003  where he beat both Vishy Anand and Vladimir Kramnik by a full point. But he
also won the incredibly strong Aeroflot Open in Moscow in 1995 and twice came first in a
personal favourite  the annual Poikovsky tournament. Bologan has extensively annotated 88 of
his best and most attractive games. A truly inspiring life story of a man who is so much more
than a strong chess player!
