What a pity this book is also not in English:

"Now more often correspondents are curious about my meetings with great
persons of the last century whom I had the good luck to meet. About
W.Churchill, N.Khrushchev, F.Castro, E.Che Guevara; and D.Shostakovich,
D.Ojstrah, M.Rostropovich; and M.Botvinnik, R.Fischer, T.Petrosian. I
retell all this in my (Russian language) book "Remembering the most -
most"."

And what a pity that Larry Evans is also not in English on similar
subjects! - he has been toying for years with my requests for a fullsome
report of his own encounter with F.Castro, E.Che Guevara...

In fact, in the double-Phillips CD edition of Taimanov's music, there they
all are! Taimanov is playing Evans, and the unmistakable and iconic image of
the poster-child of the left in the 60s watching the game is Che.

I think it was at this time that Dr. Guevara joked that if he wasn't tempted
to go and start a new revolution in Bolivia or someplace, he would seriously
consider becoming a fulltime chess player.

I think Evans needs a good co-author to get this material out, and I
recommend to him, Denker's.
