    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.

    Chess Kursk (USSR) - art paintings Material: carbolite.  The height of the king: 100 mm.  Perfect condition.  The complete set: 32 pieces. Chess pieces with artistic painting in excellent condition without the Board or box Was created in Russia with a beautiful work of wood combined with hand paintings. The gold pieces look as if they are styled on the Mongolians (Facially and helmets). This ties in with Baku Khan having sacked the city of Kursk in the 13th century. Baku Khan was the grandson of the more famous Genghis. Legend had it that Genghis's tribe had red hair, which also ties in with the gold pieces. Baku's army was also known as the golden horde.                 Talking about the shields, the gold piece shown has a coat of arms that although not Mongolian, bears close resemblance to the present day coat of arms for Kursk, but with different colours employed. The Kursk coat of arms is bend azure with three partridges argent. Is the colour change on the piece purely to highlight the connection to Kursk, but also to show that the gold pieces were the opposition to the Russian defenders   The board is not included
