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 modern protection of Philidor is a very strong, strategically rich debut with a wide variety of pawn structures, which can become your primary weapon in response to 1.e4. As a rule, White studies this protection in the last place, because they have enough urgent problems in other open and half-open principles, and meanwhile, the game of "general considerations" is contraindicated here. How many times has it been that the whites, lulled by the "timid" appearance of the rival, unwittingly relaxed, began to act superficially and reminisced only when their party was already inevitably rolling under the slope! It is no accident that the protection of Filidor included in its repertoire dozens of leading contemporary grandmasters, including representatives of the elite. The new work of the well-known journalist, international master Vladimir Barsky is both a textbook and a reference: to quickly include the new scheme in the repertoire, it is enough to study the Brief Overview and sample games, and the section "Step by Step" will help to penetrate deeper into the secrets of the debut.
