Famous Boris Gelfand's Book is Published in Russian

One can have a copy signed at the Nutcracker tournament.

The RCF publishing division presents the BCF's Book of the Year – “Taking Positional Decisions” by Boris Gelfand. The World Vice-Champion focuses on various positional themes including grip, space advantage, pawn structure transformation, and transformation of an advantage. 

“I no longer need to prove that I understand chess, so now I am ready to teach others how to understand chess. We will concentrate on my understanding of chess, which will hopefully help young and ambitious players get better, and also bring pleasure to all chess enthusiasts. I always tried to learn from the great, but I was mostly influenced by Akiba Rubinstein, Efim Geller, and Lev Polugaevsky.” (Boris Gelfand)

The book contains 344 pages, and costs (including delivery) 550 roubles.
