    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.

    A new book by the international grandmaster, the well-known analyst and trainer Alexei Bezgodov, is devoted to the acute system 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.f3 !? In most caro-cannian systems, Black does not have problems with the development of the white-field elephant, but here they find themselves in an unusual situation - the elephant c8 is difficult to enter into the game. Black is deprived of the concept: since there is nowhere to put an elephant, one has to walk around with something else, and often begin to play unreasonably sharply. On the other hand, if they delay with the creation of counterplay, then the subordinate press is at risk. The degree of analytical exhaustion of "extreme Karo-Kann" (the title is given by the author of the monograph) is negligible in comparison with other game systems for whites, independent play often begins with the first moves. The author gives a large number of original analyzes and amplifications for both sides.
