Not sure about nowadays - check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Chess_Championship I have read the chess books from Alekhine and Karpov and Smyslov... in the past century but the chess game isn't in favor here anymore as it was in ex-USSR times... I guess Arthur is reading something else. I can be wrong. The books publishing industry is flourishing here AFAIS - there could be translated books available now, which were absent in ex-USSR times and of course Amazon can be used to get purchased original titles... Thank you. -- Shamil Thursday, July 4, 2013 5:35 PM -04:00 from John W Colby <jwcolby at gmail.com>: >ROTFL. You are probably right! > >John W.
