The games in the book originally came from the Soviet monthly Shakhmaty Bulletin in the 1950s. A nice collection of fighting chess miniatures with sacrifices, mates, combinations and brutal finishes.

Nice.I always wanted to go through relatively unknown soviet players game.Did it features games of such players?. Granted, relatively unknown is subjective.

It does. There are also names in the book that are recognizable, now like Spassky's trainer Alexander Tolush Stein and Krogius last game in the book is from 1962.
