  • "Fictionalization of chess game Steinitz-Tchigorin (Havana) 1892."
  • "Cet ouvrage de 1965 s'apparente à la politique-fiction et constitue un ingénieux scénario futuriste où le prétexte urbaniste très bien élaboré cède la place à une machination machiavélique où le héros est confronté à des problèmes humains dramatiques."
