    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.

    1) Капабланка в России - И. Линдер, В. Линдер Авторы настоящей книги рассказали о жизни и деятельности гениального шахматиста, с соответствующим акцентом на его связи с советской шахматной культурой, постарались показать несостоятельность некоторых получивших хождение еще при жизни великого шахматиста и затем укоренившихся в литературе стереотипов, которые мешают увидеть его истинный вклад в сокровищницу шахматного искусства, в развитие мировой шахматной культуры (в их числе утверждения о его пренебрежении к дебютной теории, о том, что он являл собой «человека-машину» в шахматах, что он был глашатаем их близкой «ничейной смерти», наконец, что шахматы в его жизни были лишь хобби). При работе над книгой были использованы самые различные источники, как советские, так и зарубежные. Кроме сборников партий и общих трудов о жизни и творчестве Капабланки, внимание авторов привлекли оригинальные публикации кубинского шахматиста в советской литературе, отдельные малоизвестные, но важные его статьи в испаноязычной прессе, а также имевшиеся в распоряжении авторов неопубликованные письма Капабланки, воспоминания о нем современников. Наконец, многочисленные публикации советских авторов по теоретическим или общим проблемам шахматного искусства, в которых рассматриваются творческие идеи Капабланки. Представление об этих работах дает приводимая в книге библиография использованной литературы. Подробно о московских турнирах 1925, 1935, 1936 гг. Рассчитана на широкий круг любителей шахмат. 2) В далеком Багио - Карпов А. О матче на первенство мира Карпов-Корчной 1978 г. глазами победителя. 3) На шахматном Олимпе - Батуринский В., Карпов А. История борьбы за первенство мира и лучшие партии А.Карпова; много партий и фото. 4) Сквозь призму полувека - Флор С. В книге выдающегося гроссмейстера и журналиста собраны его лучшие работы, а также воспоминания. 5) Они играли в шахматы - Антонов Г.В., Гродзенский С.Я., Линдер И.М., Романов Очерки о выдающихся русских и советских писателях, ученых и музыкантах, в жизни которых значительное место занимали шахматы: Чернышевский, Менделеев, Пушкин. Толстой, Тургенев, Горький, Маяковский, Скрябин, Прокофьев и мн.др. Они высоко ценили эту игру, посвящали ей часы досуга, а порой шахматы служили для них источником вдохновения, помогая ярче проявить свой гений в науке, литературе, искусстве. Эта сторона жизни выдающихся людей интересна не только тем, что позволяет полнее представить их жизнь, мир занятий и увлечений. Она раскрывает шире, глубже влияние игры на человека, место ее в обществе, нравственно-воспитательное предназначение, удивительную многоплановость, вызванную триединой формулой шахмат — искусство, наука, спорт. В столь широком аспекте книга на эту тему публикуется впервые. Книга рассчитана на широкий круг любителей шахмат. 6) Эпизоды шахматных баталий - Ботвинник М. В книге представлены 40 эпизодов из партий первого советского чемпиона мира. Они отобраны автором либо из-за исключительности шахматного содержания, либо из-за их особого места в спортивной биографии. Удивительная глубина мысли Патриарха советских шахмат! В мягкой обложке.
