chess in Russian literature

[Brewer, Michael]

Terry, 

You can go to the Fundamental Russian Digital Library and search the collected works of a number of Russian authors for the word Shakhmaty.  You'll have to sort though some results, but this might yield some interesting information.

You have to search in each section (on an author). You can't search the whole thing at once.  For example, go to Tolstoy

http://www.feb-web.ru/feb/tolstoy/default.asp then click on the poisk in the upper right corner and put in шахматы.

Subject: [SEELANGS] chess in Russian literature

Good afternoon!

     Can anyone suggest works in Russian fiction or film which weave the game of
chess literally, figuratively or both into the fabric of the work through plot,
characterization, structure, etc. etc? I am aware of Nabokov's contributions in
this regard. Any other ideas? Please reply OFFLIST to tpolowy at email.arizona.edu

     Many thanks! --
