The first two volumes of Fedor Bohatirchuk Doktor Zhivago sovetskikh shakhmat by Sergei Voronkov have been published. My copies took eight weeks to come from Moscow. I paid 60 USD but I have seen prices by retailers ranging from 73 to 111 USD for the set.
Hard covers with 480 + 464 pages + 20 pages of photos Tome 1 covers 1892-1935 and Tome 2 1935-1984.
A third volume, to be published, will be devoted to the politics and scientific achievements of Dr. Bohatirchuk.
The volumes have two-column pages for the games with large diagrams. Photos and line drawings are liberally spread throughout the text. Cross tables are at the end of each book and the second terminates with an extensive bibliography.
We shall have to see what the reviews say of the work as a whole.
I have had it suggested to me that listing the games played after he came to Canada might be useful. I transliterated the names back to English, if that is the right term, and found many familiar names from the chess past. I probably have made many errors and I would appreciate any corrections.
There are 61 “Canadian” games. For each I give the book game number, the opponents, event, date, the annotator and the opening code. Seven are middle or endgames, and for these I have just put “fragment”.
