    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.

    Peter Arsenyevich Romanovsky - one of the strongest Soviet masters of the 20s - 30s, a major chess teacher, the author of a number of valuable books on various issues of chess creativity, enjoyed a well-deserved success. His views have not lost their relevance today. Romanovskiy addressed the theme of the middlegamet twice. The first work under this title was published in 1929, when the whole world was under the impression of hypermodernism: it seemed that the `magic stone` of chess was found. The first `Mittelshpil` Romanovsky became the anthem of the new ideas of Nimzowitsch, Reti and other leading figures of the time. After many years, Romanovsky again wrote a book with the same name. By this time, the passion around hypermodernism had subsided, it is time to return to the unfading values created by the classics and romantics, and to give a new assessment of the accumulated ideological wealth in chess. The second book was published in two volumes (`Plan` and` Combination`), and the volume dedicated to the combination was published in soft binding and few people have survived to this day. This was the reason for his re-release.
