    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.

    Для участия в матч-турнире 1941 г. были приглашены призеры XII чемпионата СССР: И. Бондаревский, А. Лилиенталь, В. Смыслов, П. Керес, И. Болеславский и М. Ботвинник. После того, как участники матч-турнира стали известны, была определена и турнирная программа. Каждый с каждым должен был сыграть четыре партии — фактически по небольшому матчу. Таким образом, матч-турнир состоял из четырех кругов. Михаил Моисеевич говорил, что эта книга — лучшее, что сделано им в области шахматного анализа. Между тем, она создавалась в труднейших условиях: во время войны, в эвакуации. В комнате жила семья шахматиста из 6 человек, и ежедневно, приходя с работы, на столе, составленном из чемоданов, он трудился, полагая, что таким образом сохраняет свою аналитическую силу для грядущих свершений. М.М. часто говорил, что настоящая наука согласно «Закону Паркинсона» делается в сарае, а как только появляется швейцар в ливрее у парадного входа, наука заканчивается. Видимо, это касается и литературно-шахматного труда. Другой эпизод, связанный с книгой, относится к 1970 году. А.А.Быховский (в то время старший тренер молодежной сборной СССР) привел к Ботвиннику Александра Белявского. Потом М. М. говорил, что Белявского ему показали слишком поздно. Что значит поздно, переспросили его? «17 лет — поздно, шахматист уже сформирован», — ответил Михаил Моисеевич. Юноша понравился, и Ботвинник дал ему эту книгу для тщательного изучения. Через несколько месяцев она была возвращена со словами: «Хотел найти хотя бы одну ошибку в анализе, но не нашел!» Первому изданию уже 60 лет. Второе выходило в 1951 году! Тираж нового небольшой — 1700 экз. Кроме того, 200 экз. выпущены в эксклюзивном виде: с золотым обрезом и именными, выполненными шелкографией.
