    The winners of the XII USSR Championship were invited to participate in the 1941 match tournament: I. Bondarevsky, A. Lilienthal, V. Smyslov, P. Keres, I. Boleslavsky and M. Botvinnik. After the participants of the match tournament became known, the tournament program was also determined. Everyone had to play four games with each other — in fact, a small match. Thus, the match tournament consisted of four rounds. Mikhail Moiseevich said that this book is the best thing he has done in the field of chess analysis. Meanwhile, it was created in the most difficult conditions: during the war, during the evacuation. The chess player's family of 6 people lived in the room, and every day, coming home from work, he worked on a table made up of suitcases, believing that in this way he retains his analytical power for future achievements. M.M. often said that real science according to "Parkinson's Law" is done in a barn, and as soon as it appears The doorman in livery at the front door, science ends. Apparently, this also applies to literary and chess work. Another episode related to the book dates back to 1970. A.A.Bykhovsky (at that time the senior coach of the USSR youth national team) led Alexander Belyavsky to Botvinnik. Then M. M. said that Belyavsky was shown to him too late. What do you mean it's late, you asked him again? "17 years is too late, the chess player has already been formed," Mikhail Moiseevich replied. The young man liked it, and Botvinnik gave him this book for careful study. A few months later, she was returned with the words: "I wanted to find at least one error in the analysis, but I didn't find it!"

    С предисловием М.Ботвинника. По этому учебнику учились многие выдающиеся шахматисты. Книга содержит первоначальные сведения о шахматной игре, учение о дебютах. Особое место занимают главы, посвященные позиционной борьбе и проблемам шахматной эстетики. М. Ботвинник об учебнике Э. Ласкера: Учебник содержит начальные сведения о шахматной игре, некоторые примеры, которые должны дать читателю представление о тонкостях шахмат, и объемистые сведения по теории начал (с пояснительными партиями). Глава о комбинации включает множество примеров, относящихся ко всем стадиям шахматной партии. На мой взгляд, представление Ласкера о комбинации несколько старомодно, но коллекция примеров превосходна. В главе о позиционной игре производит сильное впечатление как исторический обзор, так и собрание примеров позиционной игры. Эта глава - украшение учебника. В наши дни шахматисты мало знают о прошлом шахмат, о том, как формировалось учение о позиции. Ласкер был живым свидетелем развития первого этапа шахматной теории (ведь он выиграл матч за шахматную корону у самого Стейница), и здесь сведения об этом периоде развития шахмат читатель получает из первоисточника. Глава об эстетике шахмат, сама по себе весьма интересная, вряд ли имеет самостоятельное значение. Ее содержание могло бы быть разделено между главой о комбинации и главой о позиционной игре. Заканчивается учебник примерными партиями. Отметим отсутствие специальной главы об эндшпиле. Сведения о нем рассеяны по книге. То, что книга написана великим шахматным бойцом и мыслителем делает ее изучение полезной для каждого, серьезно изучающего шахматы и интересующегося их прошлым.

    Давно известно, что защищаться в шахматах труднее, чем атаковать. Овладение техникой защиты - важный шаг на пути к мастерству. Помочь сделать этот шаг призвана, по замыслу автора, настоящая книга. В книге рассказывается о наиболее распространенных приемах защиты в шахматной партии: профилактике, встречной игре, жертвах, ловушках - словом, обо всем том, что должен знать ныне шахматист, желающий совершенствоваться. В первой части книги даны необходимые представления о взглядах на защиту, ее основных видах и приемах - одним словом, то, без чего сегодня попросту опасно пускаться в полное неизвестностей тревог шахматное плавание. Во второй части книги речь идет о разновидностях защитной стратегии. Книга рассчитана на шахматистов-разрядников.
