    The authors continue to study typical opening and middlegame positions. Royal Fortress No. 2 has pawns on squares f7, g6, h7 (or f2, g3, h2), and they are usually joined by another defender – bishop on g7 (g2). This formation is called fianchetto, it is found in many popular openings, such as the Catalan Opening, King's Indian Defense, Grunfeld Defense and a number of others.  The authors analyze in detail the techniques of attack, defense and counterattack. Most examples – from the creativity of modern chess players (for example, a separate chapter is dedicated to the strongest Russian grandmaster Ian Nepomniachtchi); they are complemented by parts that have become a classical heritage. The book contains about 300 positions for independent solution, so it is not only a textbook, but also a solid problem book. Grandmaster Konstantin Chernyshov, head of the Interregional Grandmaster School in Kostroma, and his daughter International Master Natalya Kareva – experienced coaches, whose students include grandmasters and masters, champions of Russia and Europe among juniors.  The book is addressed to young chess players and their mentors.

    «The idea of continuing the autobiographical book “Steps” has been in the air almost since the moment it was written.

Bologan).  The book contains 75 games commented in detail and a number of fragments. A frank story about the life and professional path, about cooperation with the leading grandmasters and coaches of the world (among them - A. Karpov, G. Kasparov, Yu. Polgar, Zhu Chen, R.

    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.

    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.

    Condition: Very good Small scratches on the binding This book is the most complete collection of Emanuel Lasker's chess works in the world today. In addition to the frequently published CHESS TEXTBOOK and the rarer but well-known work COMMON SENSE IN CHESS, it includes rudiments of chess knowledge and lessons for beginners - works that are completely inaccessible today. Lasker's influence on the chess world was enormous, his athletic superiority over his opponents was so incredible that his contemporaries could not find a reasonable explanation for it. Some attributed his success to luck, others even suspected hypnosis! Only today have many of the methods that Lasker used in his chess practice become clear, although he, as a true scientist, directly set out his views in printed works. Lasker's books are essential for anyone who wants to understand chess and achieve success in it. Special hard "puffy" binding.

    Одно из немногих шахматных обучающих видео на русском языке! В фильме представлены уроки международных гроссмейстеров - Игоря Зайцева и Евгения Свешникова. Все уроки сопровождаются интерактивными изображениями шахматных досок. Всемирная шахматная видеоэнциклопедия – это уникальный видеосериал, ставящий задачу объединить и глубоко осмыслить сокровищницу шахматных знаний, накопленных человечеством, через творчество великих и выдающихся мастеров шахматного искусства. Первый раздел составляют 4-х часовые выпуски по актуальным вопросам шахматной философии, теории дебютов, шахматной стратегии, тактики, психологии и т.д. Весь огромный материал строится на базе опыта, накопленного шахматной школой Анатолия Карпова в течении 10 лет ее работы. Школа уникальна уже по плодам своим : десятки молодых людей, прошедших курс школы, стали международными мастерами и гроссмейстерами, чемпионами мира и Европы в различных возрастных категориях. Феномен школы очень точно определил сам Анатолий Карпов. Вот его слова, которые используются в качестве эпиграфа в начале каждого выпуска сериала «Шахматная школа Анатолия Карпова» : я начал играть в шахматы в 4 года. Чемпионом мира стал через 19 лет. Со всей ответственностью могу сказать, что мой путь на шахматный Эверест был бы значительно короче, если бы с самого начала у меня были такие наставники, которые сегодня в нашей школе. Содержание: 1. Вступительное слово. 2. Как составить дебютный репертуар по системе Свешникова. 3. Важнейшие элементы шахматной стратегии: Атака в сильном пункте. Атака возмездия (И. Зайцев).

    The proposed book is unique, literally in every part we meet with interesting details that seem to lead us to the side, but always allow us to return to the main direction of the narrative. In the book, the chess world champion Anatoly Karpov talks about himself, his comrades and teachers, about climbing the top of the chess Olympus, about the big and small chess battles in which he participated. There are not many chess games in the book, and they are chosen in a rather peculiar way. The selection of the parties presented here sufficiently reveals Karpov's approach to the chess game itself. He gives only the games he won, apparently considering that the chess game & ndash; this is mainly a sport. The story of the world champion is supplemented by the master of sports of the USSR, the deserved trainer of the RSFSR, journalist Alexander Roshal. This book is much new. Both amateurs and chess specialists will learn about this new with interest, and those who still know almost nothing about the great game of chess will take advantage of themselves.
