    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.

    In the vast ocean of chess literature there are relatively few books about the endgame, and only a few of them can be considered true chess classics. And the most outstanding among the classics — Reuben Fine's book "Basic Chess Endings". Reuben Fine (1914−1993) was for a long time one of the best chess players in the world. As an author, Fine showed himself to be an excellent analyst who understood the full depth and peculiarities of the endgame. Having studied various types of standard positions, Fine established useful rules for practical play and proved himself to be an experienced teacher who, using skillfully chosen examples, was able to teach the reader all the necessary lessons and introduce him to the basic ideas of the endgame. Many generations of chess players in different countries of the world keep copies of “Basic Chess Endings”. For example, Mikhail Botvinnik considered Fine's work the most worthy of all that had ever been written on endgame theory.

Name of the second part – "Multiple Solutions" - speaks for itself. Each of the positions has several solutions, but the number of ways in a particular position is not indicated. The task is considered complete if all the continuations leading to the checkmate are given. And, finally, the third, last part – "No hints" - the most difficult. Again, you need to checkmate in 1 move, only now it is not indicated who owns the turn of the move, nor the number of ways to be found. In addition, in some positions, "mutual" mate, i.e. both White and Black can checkmate. For these positions, the decision should indicate all methods of mating for both sides. Such a minimal amount of preliminary information in the examples from the third part creates the prerequisites for a more thorough study of the position, teaches you to follow the peculiarities of the location of not only someone else's, but also your own king. This manual will allow a novice chess player to consolidate the rules of the game with the help of specific tasks, to better understand how the pieces interact with each other, and also to get acquainted with pinning and overlapping, open attack and double check, i.e. with those chess tricks that are often found in the game.
