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.

    Savely Tartakover occupied a very special place in chess. First of all, he was an innovator, not afraid of experiments, and with his ideas he significantly enriched the theory and practice of chess. He was not only one of the creators of hypermodernism, but also the author of the term hypermodernism itself. It was he who came up with such a current opening as the Catalan Opening, and the Tartakover-Makogonova-Bondarevsky system in the Queen's Gambit has allowed many generations of chess players to successfully fight with black. This textbook was written primarily for second- and third-class chess players, but will also be of interest to more qualified players.

    The reseller. Distraction, enticing. 1-2 digit, 1700-2000 Elo. Before you are the 2nd collection of chess tasks and combinations in the series "Surgeons for dischargers & raquo ;. Here are two topics: ATTORNEY and ATTRACTION. Distraction & ndash; known reception in many sports games. Imagine that on the football goalkeeper there are two attackers. The first distracts the goalkeeper on himself and gives the ball to the second, who quietly rolls it into the empty net. This tactical technique is also used in chess, when it is required to distract any figure from protecting an important field or another figure. With the help of a tactical technique, & lquo; Lure & raquo; You can force the opponent's figure to take a position that is disadvantageous to her, on which she dies. This method is especially effective in relation to the king. Lure is often used together with a double stroke, a bunch and other tactical techniques. If you cope with all the tasks of the new "Rescan", then the enemy is unlikely to be able to CHOOSE your fighting figures in chess games, and your King will NOT be ATTENTED by an unpleasant blow! Decide on health!
