Orwellian Doublethink of Verendel Publishing?.

Sort:
Vrooming_Rook

Verendel Publishing's third revision of the 1948 World Chess Championship is out for 44.95 euros.

As far as I remember there were two authors in the Soviet edition.
How come Botvinnik has been wiped out from existence?

An "unperson" erased and disposed of in a memory hole?

To accept this altered history as truth we are supposed to doublethink, aren't we? As we're playing at Chessnut Tree Cafe

PS It is true that Paul Keres owns the majority of the commentary, but there are Botvinnik's games commented by himself (e.g.Botvinnik-Euwe game #4 , Keres-Botvinnik #10, Botvinnik-Smyslov #15).

In the Soviet book there's also Botvinnik's diary kept during the tournament

Orwell provided a trenchant critique of totalitarianism, propaganda, and the manipulation of language and truth. Now in chess books, too...

I checked three bibliographies, I have in my collection only the second revised Russian edition lists Botvinnik as an author. The first Estonian and Soviet edition list Keres as the author, Botvinnik annotations may have added to the second revised edition.
