ISBN: 9781843821625 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

On that occasion, however he tied for the first place with Akuba K. Rubinstein instead of winning outright, as on this occasion...

The culmination was a victory at the head of the British Chess Federation team in the European Team Championship at snow bound Skara in Sweden against the reigning world champion Anatoly Karpov. For the very first time in any anthology of Tony Miles' games...
