THE LUZHIN DEFENSE
VLADIMIR NABOKOV / VLADIMIR VLADIMIROVIC NABOKOV
Discovering his prodigious gift in boyhood and rising to the rank of International Grandmaster, Luzhin develops a lyrical passion for chess. As he confronts the fiery, swift-swooping Italian Grandmaster Turati, he brings into play his carefully devised defence.
