About the Book

SAN PETERSBURGO, 1914San Petersburgo, 1914 es una novela que gira alrededor de acontecimientos relacionados con uno de los torneos de ajedrez más importantes de todos los tiempos, y que se desarrolló realmente en la capital del imperio de los últimos Romanov, en los primeros meses de 1914. Allí se congregaron once de los mejores ajedrecistas de todo el mundo, incluyendo el campeón mundial, para disputar un evento que contaba con la anuencia del propio zar Nicolás II, que entregaría los nuevos títulos de "Gran Maestro" a los cinco mejores clasificados.Bajo las condiciones en que se realizó el evento, y el alto interés por el ajedrez desatado en la sociedad petersburguesa, es lógico imaginar que se sucedieron numerosos acontecimientos en que se vieron involucrados figuras relevantes de la aristocracia y hasta en cierta medida de los ajedrecistas participantes, y como era de suponer los candidatos a tener alguna relación con los mismos debían ser las figuras más jóvenes.En especial uno de estos jóvenes acaparó la atención de los medios y de la sociedad rusa por su personalidad, talento y forma de desenvolverse en aquel ambiente cosmopolita, a lo que hay que añadir que se mantuvo la mayor parte del torneo al frente de la clasificación, y solo al final cedió paso al campeón mundial en una dramática partida en que se mostró muy por debajo de su nivel de juego.La novela como tal no se centra solo en el torneo, sino que profundiza en las condiciones históricas del momento por lo que desfilan a través de ella toda una serie de personajes, algunos reales, otros de ficción, pero intentando mantener cierta rigurosidad, en cuanto al marco histórico-geográfico de los acontecimientos. .1914 fue trascendental para la historia de la humanidad, y en la ciudad de San Petersburgo, como en otras grandes capitales de Europa: Berlín, Viena, Londres o París, altos dignatarios malcocinaban los planes de lo que estallaría en agosto de ese año, como un conflicto desbastador, nunca antes visto, y que echó por tierra, los cánones aristocráticos establecidos y contribuyó a la caída de los grandes imperios europeos. Se trataba de la "Primera Guerra Mundial" La novela transcurre en los meses anteriores al estallido del gran conflicto bélico, y en ella los personajes principales luchan por realizarse, o alcanzar el amor en un ambiente tenso, asfixiante, subordinado a los abatares del destino, y en un imperio próximo a derrumbarse. Al final puede que lo alcancen a medias, pero siempre les quedará su sabor a miel en los labios, y la consoladora frase de Fiodor Dostoievsky en su novela "Noches Blancas" "Pero, ¿acaso eso es poco para toda una vida humana?"
