Boris Gelfand at home: ChessBase is running on the computer
while he studies tactics with Lev Psakhis, and more chess material waits to be read.
When Boris Gelfand appeared on the international tournament scene in the middle of the 1980s he soon was considered to be a potential challenger for the world title. In 2012 Gelfand, who was born in Minsk but emigrated to Israel after the end of the Soviet Union in 1989, finally had a chance to play directly for the title. He became challenger of Vishy Anand and came close to winning the match in Moscow. Gelfand was the first to win a game but Anand equalized and the match finally went into the tie-break. After missing a win in the third game and overlooking a knight's fork in the fourth game, Gelfand finally lost tie-break and match. But his achievements led to a lot of chess interest in his home country Israel and inspired director Halil Efrat to do a documentary about Gelfand's chess career: "Album 61".
Recently Gelfand gave the Russian TV station ETV an interview (in Russian), which ChessPro.ru translated into English - including a link to "Album 61".
