    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.

    Fine

    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.

    Две книги по цене одной: 1) Дебют ферзевых пешек (том 1). 2) Дебют ферзевых пешек (том 2). 1)В этой книге многое сделано впервые. Впервые (по крайней мере на русском языке) дан подробный и качественный анализ системы Вересова. Впервые карта мин и ловушек в "садово - парковом" гамбите Блэкмара-Димера предстанет перед читателем в полном формате, без купюр. Оригинальная идея Литвиненко также не осталась без вдумчивого и кропотливого анализа, выносимого на читательский суд. От читателя по большому счету требуется только одно: желание. Желание избежать заезженных вдоль и поперек схем ферзевого гамбита, желание попробовать что-то новенькое. Прочь, шаблонная игра! Если таковое желание есть - первый том монографии "Дебют ферзевых пешек" станет незаменимым помощником на пути к яркому творческому эксперименту. И победам! 2)Классика классике рознь. Есть классика музейная, наподобие тех мертвых языков, которые все еще изучают, но на которых уже никто не говорит. А есть классика живая, вечно обновляющаяся; есть "языки", на которых каждое следующее поколение "говорит" по-своему, обогащая и передавая своим потомкам. Шахматы в целом и теория дебютов в частности не являются исключением из общего правила. Дебютные системы, названные в честь Цукерторта, Торре, Колее, были актуальны сто лет назад - и не потеряли своей актуальности доныне. Сильнейшие гроссмейстеры нашего времени проверили их "лазерным лучом" мощных компьютерных программ. Ненужное отбросили, полезное закрепили, сделав пригодным для массового изучения и использования. Об этом - второй том монографии "Дебют ферзевых пешек". Дебюта, который не устареет никогда.
