Among his many distinctions in chess are his score of six wins, nine draws and five losses against World Champions. As former World Champion Mikhail Tal wrote: With the passage of time tournament tables tend to lose interest, but some games played in these tournaments live forever, and in this respect Nezhmetdinov is one of the most richly endowed players. I have played four games with the Tator master and the score is 3-1 in his favor." David Bronstein too, sang his prasises: "Rashid Nezhmetdinov is a virtuoso of combinational chess.!" Containing over 100 of Nezhmetdinov`s best games with his own annotations, this book will be welcomed by all lovers of imaginative chess.
