De tous mes livres russes, "La défense de Loujine" est celui qui contient et dégage la plus grande "chaleur" - ce qui peut paraître curieux, sachant à quel suprême degré d`abstraction les échecs sont supposés se situer. En fait, Loujine a paru sympathique même au gens qui ne comprennent rien aux échecs et/ou détestent tous mes autres livres. Il est frustre, sale, laid - mais comme ma jeune fille de bonne famille (charmante demoiselle elle-même) le remarque si vite, il y a quelque chose en lui qui transcende aussi bien la rudesse de sa peau grise que la stérilité de son génie abscons.
