The Beginning

quote:
In the beginning was the board...

...and the board was empty and monochromatic. Then God created the pieces – the pawns, rooks, knights, bishops, queens and kings. And He saw that the game was somewhat gross, but still it was good. And then He played a first game against the One Whose Name Should Not Be Uttered. Alex Shternshain has annotated it.

By the way, if you want to read other works by Alex Shternshain just paste the name in chessbase's search field.

Enjoy. [Smile]
