    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.

    reprint. When in 1922, after many years of negotiations, which repeatedly called into question the very possibility of a world championship, two brilliant chess thinkers sat against each other to start a struggle unprecedented in the history of chess art, the whole world held its breath, preparing to witness an unprecedented tension of chess thought and will, exceptional in its deep penetration into the truth of creativity. Lasker and Capablanca were opponents not only of challenging each other's right to be called the first world chess player. Their struggle is a clash of two chess understandings, two improvements in the field of these understandings, and therefore followers and admirers of both one and another course.
