The life of Savielly Tartakower was marked by paradox. He was a passionate man who fought for the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1914-18 and then for the Allies against Germany in the Second World War.

He changed nationalities four times, being born Russian and becoming in turn Austrian, Ukrainian, Polish and French. A debonair gambler, poet and wit, he was yet haunted throughout his life by a youthful indiscretion in pre-war Vienna.

And he was also a world-class chess master who left a legacy of beautiful play and fascinating accounts of the game. In life inscrutable, half a century after his death some of Tartakower’s mystery can now be fathomed.

David Lovejoy was born in London and educated at Oxford University. He is currently a journalist living in Australia. As an amateur chess player his highest achievement was the championship of Queensland many years ago. He has written a successful autobiography called 'Between Dark and Dark'.

Hans Ree, New In Chess:
"A good read."

GM Ian Rogers in the Byron Shire Echo:
"Well-written and entertaining (...) Lovejoy keeps you turning the pages."

Steve Goldberg, ChessCafe:
"One of the game's greats has truly come alive."
