This seems to be regarded as the West's answer to “The Soviet School of Chess” by Alexander Kotov ISBN 4871878198 who asserts superiority in the Soviet playing style. However, those who say that are mistaken. This book by a New Zealander who emigrated to England because of the greater opportunities to play chess there, fully concurs with Kotov that the Soviet players were the best in the world. In this book, R. G. Wade, the Chief National Coach of British Chess Federation, with more than one hundred international chess events behind him, examines Soviet Chess. In this unique work, more than 120 games in Descriptive Notation of the leading grandmasters in the USSR are analyzed and commented on, including some of the greatest games ever played by giants such as Botvinnik, Smyslov, Bronstein, Petrosian, Tal and countless others. With the tremendous wealth of biographical material and information, this makes a unique and incomparable reference work, a source of inspiration to all chess players.

Robert G. Wade was a chess player, author, journalist, and coach. Born on April 10, 1921 in Dunedin, New Zealand, he won the New Zealand championship three times before moving to England in 1948 to further his chess career. He was best known for playing in high level tournaments, including one Interzonal, for winning the British Championship twice, and for writing more than 30 books, including “The Chess Games of Robert J. Fischer” ISBN 0923891595 , which was later reprinted with more games added as “The Chess Games of Bobby Fischer” ISBN 0923891374. His most famous games were his draw with Bobby Fischer (not many players ever got a draw with Bobby Fischer) in the 1965 Capablanca Memorial in Havana Cuba, in which Bobby played by telex from the Marshall Chess Club since the US State Department banned travel to Cuba, his defeat of Korchnoi in Buenos Aires 1960 and his draw with Grandmaster Murray Chandler in New Zealand in 2006 at age 85. He died on 29 November 2008 in London.
