    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.

    The new book of the Dutch grandmaster Genna Sosonko is a kind of continuation of his collection & quot; My testimony & quot; (& quot; Ripol classic & quot;), which has become the most striking event in Russian chess literature in recent years. In the role of Nostradamus is the Dutchman Hein Donner, who was not only a strong grandmaster, but also a brilliant journalist and writer who loved to dress up as a soothsayer. Sosonko, having translated two dozen of his stories into Russian, enters into an in-depth discussion with him. In the preface, he writes: & quot; The book is built on this principle: Donner’s narrative follows first, then my own - on the same topic. I would not be a chess player if I did not consider Donner's story every day as a starting point for the competition, hoping that in any case the & quot; reader would benefit.

    The book of Gennady Sosonko is devoted to the fate of the outstanding chess player David Ionovich Bronshtein. Bronstein's peak occurred in the middle of the last century, when he challenged Botvinnik himself and almost overpowered him, but this "almost" inflicted him a wound that never healed until the end of his life. The author has repeatedly met and talked with Bronstein, and these conversations have not only recreated the thoughts and character of one of the most original grandmasters of the past, but they also bring us back to times that are not simply found in world history. Not being a biography in the classical sense of the word, Sosonko's book, which is read in one breath, goes beyond the limits of the hero's biography, posing eternal questions, to which there is no unambiguous answer.

"Almost all the great ones are represented here. I must say that the chess goddess Kaissa was not always supportive of the applicants. She had her own daughters and there were those whom she didn’t really like. For example, the great chess player Paul Morphy didn’t become a world champion.
