Album 61
The World Chess Championship unfolds as a high-stakes clash brimming with passion, power, and money. Boris Gelfand has dedicated his entire life to this moment, groomed from the age of six to wear the crown of champion. His father devoted every hour of his life to cultivating Boris's talent while obsessively documenting the journey. The photo albums tell the father's story as vividly as they do the son's, revealing a straightforward truth about a man who lives his own dreams through his child under the Soviet regime. Can any child, given a fine Soviet education, become a genius? And is becoming a genius worth the price?
