Kecskemet tournament in 1927 is of considerable interest due to the participation in it of a number of outstanding chess players, primarily Alekhine and Nimtsovich.

This book is both an excellent manual for independent study, and
a valuable instructional aid for chess trainers and teachers. Many
experts even consider that nothing better of its kind has been written.
As a program for training chess players, it was developed by Victor
Golenishchev, a USSR master and honoured trainer. Golenishchev’s
programs (the present book, and also the programs for 2nd category,
1st category and candidate master) still retain great methodological
value and are successfully employed in chess teaching. It is noteworthy
that the present work is extremely popular not only with our
trainers, but also with foreign experts. The present edition of this
classic book has been updated with numerous examples from the
games of the best players of recent years, and reflects modern views
on chess. The editor-in-chief is the multiple world champion Anatoly
Karpov.


This program is intended for the teaching of chess in schools and junior
clubs, and is aimed at trainers, teachers and club organisers, working with
young chess players.
The program assumes that the pupils know the moves of the pieces and
understand the aim of the game, although the more complicated rules will
be unfamiliar to them.
The teaching plan is aimed at 75 lessons (twice a week, each of two hours)
– a total of 150 hours.
The scheme of a lesson is roughly as follows: checking of home
assignment, explanation of theoretical material, recording by the pupils of
the home assignment and a practical part. The length of the theoretical part
of the lesson should not exceed 20-30 minutes, since most of the pupils will
be in junior school classes. Chess attracts them above all as a game, and in an
effort to cover too much the teacher may kill the keen interest of the young
listeners.

"My system" was the reference book of many outstanding chess players of the past and present.

From Botvinnik to Fisher. In 1946, world champion Alexander Alyokhin passed away undefeated. A difficult question arose: how to determine the new, the sixth chess king? In the end, in 1948, the International Chess Federation (FIDE) hosted a match-tournament of five Grandmasters, in which I also participated. Then Botvinnik won, and within the next quarter of a century only Soviet chess players competed directly for the title of champion. Their hegemony was violated only by Fischer, but not for long ...
