You were still the champion of the RSFSR in 1947! - Yes? Wherefore should we remember it? It seems to me nobody needs it. - Well, why do you say so? You are a living legend beside Andre Liliental and therefore any reminiscences are needed for the history of chess... - What is your attitude towards poetry? - He has asked us suddenly.
