Query re _THE DEFENSE_ criticism

Body
EDITOR's NOTE. Criticism on any given Nabokov work may be found under the
work's title on the excellent Zimmer/Edmunds Bibliography at http:
//www.libraries.psu.edu/iasweb/nabokov/nsintro.htm.
There is a substantial body of criticism on VN & chess.
---------------------------
I am not a professional specialist in literature, but VN's
works and life is my basic hobby (some kind of passion). My favorite book
of VN is (as DN spoke in some interview) that I have reading now.But
subject of my practical interest is novel "Zashita Luzhina" ("The
Defense"). I am working on critical essay about this work, in which the
modern conception about chess allegories, chronology, psychology and
metaphysics of the novel will be reconsidered. Unfortunately my access to
foreign researches of this novel is limited. (B.Boyd and Nora Brooks) If
you have any information on the most significant researches (researchers)
of this novel please inform me.
