    Gift Edition, coated paper. "Fight and search, find and never give up!" - these famous words can be safely considered the motto of the author of the book. Yuri Alexandrovich Zharkov - a man of amazing willpower and fortitude. He managed, having lost sight, to realize himself in chess. However, a collection of his tasks is not at all a tribute to the courage of the author. The book is valuable and interesting in the first place because many of Zharkov’s works can be safely added to the category of the undoubted creative successes of the Samara chess composer. I have no doubt that acquaintance with this book will bring a lot of pleasant moments to all fans of Kaissa, and finding solutions to a whole range of tasks will not be easy even for very skilled chess players.
