From Botvinnik to Fisher. In 1946, world champion Alexander Alyokhin passed away undefeated. A difficult question arose: how to determine the new, the sixth chess king? In the end, in 1948, the International Chess Federation (FIDE) hosted a match-tournament of five Grandmasters, in which I also participated. Then Botvinnik won, and within the next quarter of a century only Soviet chess players competed directly for the title of champion. Their hegemony was violated only by Fischer, but not for long ...

Karpov, Kasparov. The third volume of the collection contains games of several matches, in which I happened to participate. I can say that every such match is not an easy test, requiring maximum intensity of spiritual and physical strength. To win the champion, the champion does not always have a purely chess ability, knowledge, memory - the same opponent has the same qualities that won the competition in the series of qualifying competitions. And yet the champion is often the champion ... That's why in the history of chess until recently there were not so many of them - only thirteen. Now the chess world is present at the birth of a new system of competitions for the world championship. It seems that the element of the case will play a significant role in it. This is explained by the increased pace of life, the need to make chess more spectacular for those who do not understand the deep meaning of chess moves. It's a pity if the champions of the future do not become genuine idols for connoisseurs of our wonderful game, to which this informative book is addressed.

From Steinitz to Euwe. In the proposed three-volume book collected and commented on the parties of all matches for the world chess championship, held from 1886 to 1998. In the vast majority of these matches were the battles of real chess titans. Since 1947 the International Chess Federation (FIDE) has started organizing world championships, including qualifying competitions. This strengthened both the prestige of the title and the prestige of FIDE, which managed to authoritatively hold the world championships during half a century. Among the parties represented in this three-volume book, many genuine masterpieces, the study of which will truly delight the connoisseurs of chess art. One can confidently say that this edition gives the most vivid idea of ​​the state of chess art and chess knowledge at different stages of the history of our game during the last century. Such material can not be obsolete, can not be forgotten.

This book is a small chronicle of all international chess tournaments (women and men) held about Georgia until 1971. The author, a famous Georgian chess player and journalist Tengiz Giorgadze, who was present at all the tournaments, shares his impressions of the vicissitudes of the struggle, gives tables of results, selected games and photographs. The book pays sufficient attention to the works of Nona Gaprindashvili and Nana Alexandria. The book also tells about the first international match of Georgian chess players with the Romanian team. Lots of photos.

Супертурнир с участием Каспарова и Карпова глазами победителя. Примечательная особенность данного турнирного сборника, это тот крайне редкий случай, когда о турнире пишет сам победитель. А ведь именно его точка зрения на ход борьбы вызывает наибольший интерес. «Супертурнир в Линаресе» — первая книга Иванчука и первая возможность для читателей познакомиться с ним как с комментатором. Впервые гроссмейстер комментирует чужие партии, впервые широко приводит варианты, найденные во время аналитической работы. Прежде в комментариях для шахматной периодики он ограничивался теми продолжениями, которые видел за доской в ходе игры. В книге приведена 91 партия турнира. Для подробного анализа отбирались наиболее интересные в творческом плане и важные в спортивном отношении встречи, а так же поединки, представляющие интерес для теории дебютов. Начальной стадии партий уделено особое внимание, причем Иванчук крайне редко обращается к другим источникам, он предпочитает показать собственное видение дебютных схем, многие свои изыскания. Много интересного найдет читатель и в других этапах поединков: примеры расчета сложных комбинаций, поучительные окончания, образцы нестандартных решений и филигранной техники. Рассчитана на высококвалифицированных шахматистов.
