    The album includes the best works of the recognized master for 50 years of creative activity. Photo by Boris Dolmatovsky. For those who are engaged in chess, this authorship (in the magazine "64", in chess books, on the pages of newspapers, in particular, in the "Red Star") has become habitual for the last ten years. I respect the creativity of a great photo artist. For the first time drew attention to a photo of Boris Georgievich, published in "64": my parents met me at the airport on arrival from Baguio after a difficult match with Viktor Korchny in 1978. Since that moment it became a habit: if there is a major event in chess - see the photo of Boris Dolmatovsky. Somehow I was invited to perform in Greece, and I suggested that the photo maker make me a company. After Boris Georgievich handed me a bunch of photos about this trip, my wife Natalia (she is trying to collect all my photos) gave such an assessment: - Now I see what professional photography means! Of the major works of Boris Georgievich in recent years, I am pleased to note that he accompanied all the Aeroflot Open tournaments held by the Association of Chess Federations. In short: the signature "photo of Boris Dolmatovsky" is the highest quality mark in photojournalism. 12th world champion Anatoly Karpov

    Ulf Andersson is a master of analysis, extremely sensitive to the position and deeply understanding chess, who proved it also by the fact that already on the slope of a career, taking up a game of correspondence, he became a grandmaster in this particular form of chess art and headed the ICCF rating list. ; & nbsp; & nbsp; Still, the main thing is not this, but an amazing sense of magic, involuntarily arising from viewing the best games of Andersson. Their scenario is usually similar to each other: an unpretentious debut, mid-game without a special tactical battle, in which the pieces change one after another, and finally, an approximately equal endgame, where Andersson wins a couple of dozen moves ... for some reason wins, and without noticeable mistakes rivals. At first it seems that this is just an accident, then there is a suspicion that everything is not so simple, at last you feel admiration for the seemingly unpretentious, but immaculately delicate game. Positions with a minimum number of figures have always been & laquo; skate & raquo; Andersson. Someone successfully joked that being in good shape, Ulf could win even in a position where only two kings remain on the board. & nbsp;

    The author of the book, Gareth Williams, examines the history of chess pieces, starting with the ancient cultures that existed in Asia and ending with modern chess that participate in competitions today. Most of the chess presented in the pages of this book dates back to the mid-18th century. Some of them come from ivory carving centers known at the time, such as Berkhampur in eastern India, Guangzhou in China, Dieppe in France or Kholmogory in Russia. These countries have developed their own schools, each with its own special plots, decorative motifs and methods of processing the material, which are usually passed down from generation to generation. The book will also introduce you to serious historical facts, interesting characters and fascinating details about the matches in which they participated.
