    The youngest first–grader in the USSR, the world champion among young men, a participant in the candidates tournament at the age of 19 - Boris Spassky's rise was rapid. And then fate gave the brilliant chess player a test of strength: he stumbled twice at the decisive moment and remained beyond the threshold of interzonal tournaments ... Only ten years after his first great success, Spassky managed to pass all the qualifying tests and earn the right to a match for the crown, but he failed to defeat the Iron Tigran Petrosian the first time. It took three more years of super–efforts: by Sisyphus he rose again to the foot of Olympus and did not miss a second chance - in 1969 he became the Tenth king of chess! An essay about the life of Boris Vasilyevich and his sporting path full of ups and downs was written by Dmitry Oleynikov, Candidate of Historical Sciences, curator of the Chess Museum of the Chess Federation of Russia. 70 beautiful and instructive games of Spassky were commented on by the champion of Russia in 1993, the famous author and theorist grandmaster Alexey Bezgodov, as well as grandmaster Dmitry Kryakvin and FIDE master Steve Giddins. The preface was written by the 14th world champion Vladimir Kramnik. For a wide range of chess fans.

Chess textbook 1946-1990

  • book

    Dieses Buch bringt 150 Schachstudien aus der Werkstatt des Verfassers und einen Beitrag zur Theorie des Studien-Schachs. Die gebotenen Aufgaben stellen eine Auswahl aus den mehr als 300 bisher in verschiedenen Tageszeitungen des In- und Auslandes, in der „österreichischen Schachzeitung“, im „Schach-Magazin“ und vor allem in der „Deutschen Schachzeitung“ erstmalig veröffentlichten Studien dar. Arbeiten, deren Ursprünglichkeit dem Autor nunmehr zweifelhaft erscheint oder deren Inhalt ihn nicht mehr befriedigt, wurden nicht berücksichtigt. Und wäre der Verfasser nicht auf den Widerstand befreundeter Experten gestoßen, er hätte so manche Aufgabe von der Wiederveröffentlichung gleichfalls ausgeschlossen. An den ausgewählten Studien wurden, wo erforderlich, Änderungen, Erweiterungen und auch Richtigstellungen vorgenommen. Psychologische Gründe machten es ratsam, mit wenigen Ausnahmen auf die Wiedergabe allzu weitläufiger Aufgaben zu verzichten und in einer gewissen Ausgewogenheit neben schwieriger lösbaren Studien auch leichtere zu bringen und damit der Erfahrungstatsache Rechnung zu tragen, dass der überwiegende Teil der Löser von sehr schwierigen und reichlich verzweigten Aufgaben nicht angezogen wird. Weiter wurde die persönliche Vorliege des Autors für Turmspiele einigermaßen gezügelt und überhaupt manches versucht, Einseitigkeit zu vermeiden
