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.

    Сергей Всеволодович Белавенец – один из сильнейших советских мастеров предвоенных лет, неоднократный участник чемпионатов СССР, авторитетный теоретик и журналист. Это он придумал ставший знаменитым афоризм: «Шахматы – трагедия одного темпа». А сформулированный им принцип «Не спешить!» стал важным элементом грамотной игры в эндшпиле. Сергей Всеволодович остался в памяти шахматистов как человек на редкость приветливый, спокойный, умный, обладающий врожденным тактом и большой культурой. Он хотел написать популярный учебник для шахматистов-разрядников, тщательно отбирал для него материалы, однако работа осталась неоконченной: в 1942 году С.В. Белавенец погиб на фронте. Его дочь Людмила родилась за год до начала войны. Через всю жизнь она пронесла образ своего отца и во многом под его влиянием решила связать свою жизнь с шахматами. Она была чемпионкой Москвы и СССР, а наиболее крупных успехов добилась в игре по переписке: в 1990 году стала чемпионкой мира, в составе сборной СССР трижды побеждала на Олимпиадах. Людмила Сергеевна систематизировала и обработала учебные материалы, подготовленные отцом, а также отобрала для книги лучшие партии – его и свои. Все шахматные примеры прошли компьютерную проверку; авторы выражают признательность международному мастеру Максиму Ноткину за помощь в этой работе. Учебник Белавенца не утратил своей актуальности: качественных учебных пособий для любителей по-прежнему выходит удивительно мало. Людмила Сергеевна Белавенец – один из лучших детских тренеров в нашей стране. Прирожденный педагог, человек талантливый и мудрый, она продолжает воспитывать новые поколения юных шахматистов. Среди ее воспитанников немало чемпионов мира, России и Европы, мастеров и гроссмейстеров, шахматных профессионалов, тренеров и журналистов. Наверняка ее размышления о проблемах детских шахмат будут интересны юным талантам и их родителям, а также коллегам-тренерам. Для широкого круга любителей шахмат. 2 вкладки – ч/б 16 стр. и цветная 16 стр
