Kniha britského novináře, historika a šachisty Daniela Johnsona provází čtenáře dějinami šachu dvacátého století – ale zároveň i dějinami sovětského komunismu a studené války. Johnson ukazuje, jak se komunistický vliv na světovou politiku odrážel na čtyřiašedesáti polích šachovnice, proč se mistři světa rodili desítky let jen v SSSR, i jak bublina sovětské nadvlády splaskla v šachách i v politice. „Šach je nepřekonatelná hra politických intrik. V tomto fascinujícím příběhu špionáže za Studené války a šachového soupeření proniká Daniel Johnson do byzantského světa, aby vytvořil poutavý portrét moci, špionáže, politiky a šachů v pochmurném světě studené války.“ Simon Sebag-Montefiore
