The story of the struggle of the American single genius with the Soviet hegemony in chess. The book contains all 158 games played by the eleventh world champion Robert Fisher against the Soviet chess players. But the book’s uniqueness is different: for the first time almost all the secret documents on the "Fisher problem" are gathered together for the first time, many of which have never appeared in print. These are materials from the archives of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the USSR Sports Committee, as well as the & quot; official & quot; letters analyzing the personality and creativity of Fisher, written at the request of the leadership of the leading grandmasters of the country. The book is illustrated with rare photographs and drawings.

Славянская защита - самый популярный закрытый дебют наших дней, входящий в репертуар подавляющего большинства гроссмейстеров высокого класса. Шахматист-практик, играющий 1.d4, сталкивается с этим дебютом практически в каждом турнире, черными же применять его можно вообще чуть ли не в каждой второй партии. В течение многих лет я играл самые разные разветвления этого дебюта за оба цвета, анализировал его как самостоятельно, так и в содружестве со многими известными гроссмейстерами. Сейчас я решил дать возможность всем желающим заглянуть в гроссмейстерскую лабораторию и познакомиться с моим профессиональным отношением к тем или иным дебютным разветвлениям. Вторая часть работы включает в себя все системы, не вошедшие в первую. Это популярный вариант Алапина 3.Kf3 Kf6 4.Kc3 dxc4, а также системы, берущие начало после 4...e6. Не забыты такие возможности как 5.g3 и 5.Фb3, а после 5.e3 Kbd7 разбираются главным образом меранский (6.Сd3 dxc4 7.Сxc4 b5) и антимеранский (6.Фc2 Сd6) варианты. Еще одну солидную часть книги занимает продолжение 5.Bg5, делящееся в свою очередь на несколько крупных самостоятельных разделов. Это московский (5...h6 6.Сxf6) и антимосковский (5...h6 6.Сh4) варианты, а также система Ботвинника 5...dxc4. Возможность объединить такое количество систем в одной книге (ее можно было бы сделать пятитомником) появилась благодаря тому, что я старался дерево устаревших с моей точки зрения линий сократить до умеренного количества, оставляя лишь то, что действительно полезно знать. В дебютных книгах часто приводятся второсортные продолжения, после которых следует большое количество ссылок на сыгранные таким образом партии. В итоге книга раздувается, а суть оказывается размыта. Я в подобных случаях кратко отмечал, почему данная конкретная линия не заслуживает подробного рассмотрения. Такой подход позволил «объять необъятное» не только без потери качества, но наоборот — под рукой всегда именно то, что необходимо, а найти нужную рекомендацию гораздо проще. Текстовые пояснения к вариантам и ключевым позициям даны не везде, а лишь в тех случаях, где мне это показалось важным и где выводы не слишком очевидны. В остальном использовалась общепринятая символьная система оценок. Книга содержит очень большое количество новинок с прилагающимися анализами, проделанными не менее тщательно, чем в первой части.

Years after the Second World War, the Soviets dominated in international chess - Botvinnik, Smyslov, Tal, Petrosyan, and then Spassky held the world crown, it was almost an integral part of their heritage. In the West, from time to time there were flashes of brilliance - Reshevsky, Najdorf, and then Larsen, - but no one really challenged the Soviet hegemony. Then a lonely genius from Brooklyn appeared in the mid-1950s. Filled & nbsp; in chess, all his waking hours were devoted to finding the truth on 64 squares. This is an inexorable, sometimes disappointing quest, but he was persistent, and ultimately became, perhaps, the greatest natural chess talent in history. It was clear from his early childhood as a gifted prodigy during his stormy ascent to Chess Olympus, no one ever shook the chess world like Bobby Fisher. His rude genius in the royal game, combined with his tireless will to win, made him one of the most fearsome chess players of all time - a true living legend. Now, each of its 736 tournament and match games is presented with deep explanations and analysis.
