    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.

      I know Yury Chertok, Master of Sports of the USSR, from joint performances in all-Union and international competitions, where we were friends outside the checkers board and competitors in tournaments.    The author, acting on the golden principle "from easy to difficult", teaches checkers fans the basics of the game. The examples are chosen with taste: along with the classic ones known in the book, there are many new original ones, or those familiar only to a limited circle of checkers players.    The reader is gradually, unobtrusively carried away into the world of checkers, revealing and showing the beauty of the game, its subtleties, charms.    Giving the basics of tactics, the author suggests positions for independent decision, explaining the elements of the position, showing the pros and cons of drafts formations using concrete, convincing examples.    It seems that the debut in a new field will bring fans unforgettable moments of meeting with the beautiful and will bring new fans of the folk game to the world of checkers.
