    Для участия в матч-турнире 1941 г. были приглашены призеры XII чемпионата СССР: И. Бондаревский, А. Лилиенталь, В. Смыслов, П. Керес, И. Болеславский и М. Ботвинник. После того, как участники матч-турнира стали известны, была определена и турнирная программа. Каждый с каждым должен был сыграть четыре партии — фактически по небольшому матчу. Таким образом, матч-турнир состоял из четырех кругов. Михаил Моисеевич говорил, что эта книга — лучшее, что сделано им в области шахматного анализа. Между тем, она создавалась в труднейших условиях: во время войны, в эвакуации. В комнате жила семья шахматиста из 6 человек, и ежедневно, приходя с работы, на столе, составленном из чемоданов, он трудился, полагая, что таким образом сохраняет свою аналитическую силу для грядущих свершений. М.М. часто говорил, что настоящая наука согласно «Закону Паркинсона» делается в сарае, а как только появляется швейцар в ливрее у парадного входа, наука заканчивается. Видимо, это касается и литературно-шахматного труда. Другой эпизод, связанный с книгой, относится к 1970 году. А.А.Быховский (в то время старший тренер молодежной сборной СССР) привел к Ботвиннику Александра Белявского. Потом М. М. говорил, что Белявского ему показали слишком поздно. Что значит поздно, переспросили его? «17 лет — поздно, шахматист уже сформирован», — ответил Михаил Моисеевич. Юноша понравился, и Ботвинник дал ему эту книгу для тщательного изучения. Через несколько месяцев она была возвращена со словами: «Хотел найти хотя бы одну ошибку в анализе, но не нашел!» Первому изданию уже 60 лет. Второе выходило в 1951 году! Тираж нового небольшой — 1700 экз. Кроме того, 200 экз. выпущены в эксклюзивном виде: с золотым обрезом и именными, выполненными шелкографией.
