  1. Obsession: A Chess Biography of Vsevolod Rauzer Vsevolod Rauzer, born in Kiev in 1908, was one of the world&#8217s leading chess opening theoreticians and thinkers in the 1930s. As a player, he was an uncompromising attacker, trying to avoid draws as well as to prove that 1.e4 wins by force. According to Mikhail Botvinnik, &#8220His opening research&#8230with linked middlegame plans, gives us every reason to place V. Rauzer among the founders of the Soviet chess school.&#8221Awarded the Master of Sport title in 1929, Rauzer&#8217s best tournament performances included joint eighth place in the 1931 Soviet Championship, sixth in 1933 and eighth in 1937. According to Chessmetrics, he was ranked in the world&#8217s top 30 for several years.He made big contributions to theory in the Sicilian, French and Caro-Kann defenses among others. The book&#8217s introductory articles contain deep dives into Rauzer&#8217s opening laboratory and shed light on the historical development of key variations.The present work contains 96 games, nearly all of them played by Rauzer. Opponents include Botvinnik, Fine, Levenfish, Lilienthal, Romanovsky, the author and other leading pre-War Soviet players. Many games come with Rauzer&#8217s own annotations together with analysis by Konstantinopolsky, Botvinnik, Levenfish and others. The commentary has been updated by International Master Grigory Bogdanovich using the latest engines.Ultimately, Rauzer&#8217s story was a sad one. Chess, and especially opening analysis, was an obsession for him: he once told Panov: &#8220Unfortunately, I just can&#8217t make myself work on theory of the game for more than 16 hours a day! My head can&#8217t endure

Vsevolod Rauzer lived largely in poverty and tragically died in the Siege of Leningrad.Alexander Konstantinopolsky (1910-1990), Rauzer&#8217s close friend and collaborator over many years, was a leading Soviet player and coach, also from Ukraine. He trained David Bronstein and was head coach of the Soviet women&#8217s team from 1954 to 1982. His best tournament performance was joint second at the 1937 Soviet Championship.
