Published: Jan. 7, 2022, noon

b"Perpetual Chess is back with an edition of Chess Books Recaptured, a recurring book review podcast. Today I am joined by Martin Justesen to discuss the underrated Soviet-era classic Questions of Modern Chess Theory, by Isaac Lipnitsky. Originally published in 1956 in the Soviet Union, it was not\\xa0translated and published in English until Quality Chess did it in 2006. And the chess world is quite lucky that it was translated! As usual we share historical details, lessons learned from the book and a few favorite segments in our discussion. Of course we also get into some of the details of Isaac Lipnitsky\\u2019s life, as well as discussing what is new with our returning guest-co-host, Martin.\\xa0Please read on for more details and timestamps.\\xa0\\nMartin's prior Adult Improver Interview: Episode 209 \\n\\n0:00- Why did Martin choose this book?
