    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.

    In the vast ocean of chess literature there are relatively few books about the endgame, and only a few of them can be considered true chess classics. And the most outstanding among the classics — Reuben Fine's book "Basic Chess Endings". Reuben Fine (1914−1993) was for a long time one of the best chess players in the world. As an author, Fine showed himself to be an excellent analyst who understood the full depth and peculiarities of the endgame. Having studied various types of standard positions, Fine established useful rules for practical play and proved himself to be an experienced teacher who, using skillfully chosen examples, was able to teach the reader all the necessary lessons and introduce him to the basic ideas of the endgame. Many generations of chess players in different countries of the world keep copies of “Basic Chess Endings”. For example, Mikhail Botvinnik considered Fine's work the most worthy of all that had ever been written on endgame theory.

    Alexander Alekhine won many competitions of the highest rank, and yet his two victories stand apart. The tournaments in San Remo (1930) and Bled (1931) brought together almost all the strongest grandmasters of that time, and the 4th world champion seemed to appear “out of competition”. His separation from the closest pursuers was 3.5 and 5.5 points, respectively! “He is cracking down on us, like with the yellow-and-yellow chicks,” Nimtsovich sighed, stopping the clock after another defeat from Alekhine.

    The new book of the Dutch grandmaster Genna Sosonko is a kind of continuation of his collection & quot; My testimony & quot; (& quot; Ripol classic & quot;), which has become the most striking event in Russian chess literature in recent years. In the role of Nostradamus is the Dutchman Hein Donner, who was not only a strong grandmaster, but also a brilliant journalist and writer who loved to dress up as a soothsayer. Sosonko, having translated two dozen of his stories into Russian, enters into an in-depth discussion with him. In the preface, he writes: & quot; The book is built on this principle: Donner’s narrative follows first, then my own - on the same topic. I would not be a chess player if I did not consider Donner's story every day as a starting point for the competition, hoping that in any case the & quot; reader would benefit.
