Evil-Doer: Half a Century with Viktor Korchnoi Paperback May 17, 2018
**** "Evil-Doer: Half a Century with Viktor Korchnoi" by Genna Sosonko offers an insightful exploration into the life and mind of one of chess's most enigmatic figures. The book is not merely a biography but a thoughtful collection of reflections and interpretations that aim to provide a deeper understanding of Korchnoi's complex persona. Readers will find Sosonko's intimate connection with Korchnoi evident, as he captures both the brilliance and the torment of a man whose life was as much about his dedication to chess as it was about the personal struggles he faced. Many customers were particularly drawn to Korchnoi's strong work ethic and passion for the game, finding inspiration in his relentless pursuit of excellence despite the shadow of paranoia that often loomed over him. The author effectively illuminates Korchnoi's life, illustrating how his experiences—as a defector and a chess champion—intersected with the cultural and political tensions of the Cold War era. The dramatic nature of Korchnoi's journey, as seen through this lens, adds richness to the narrative. However, some readers expressed disappointment in the physical size of the book, finding it too small and thin compared to their expectations. Regardless of the book’s format, those who appreciate chess history and the psychological nuances of its prominent figures will likely find this work rewarding. While some feedback pointed to a desire for a more comprehensive volume, the intricate storytelling and personal anecdotes make it a compelling read for chess enthusiasts and historians alike. **
