    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.

    Publisher: Andrey ElkovAuthor(s): LinderLanguage: RussianFormat: UsualPages: 336Binding: HardDate: 2020Dear reader! In your hands is a collection of the most precious and memorable works of the author - both written long ago, and lying for several decades in the archive, and born in recent years. My pen tests in various literary genres, including poetry, always surprised and pleased my father, the chess historian Isaac Linder. A strict fan of chess "classicism" and historical realism, he boldly co-authored a freethinker and, as critics from his beloved 19th century would say, a Greyhound painter. And I must say, the "docking" was successful. I took some pleasure in writing historical stories, and he began to indulge in elegant artistic digressions. For more than a quarter of a century, we have perfectly understood and complemented each other… This book is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the passionate propagandist of chess culture, chess encyclopedist, writer and sage Isaac Maxovich Linder, it is a thank you and a bow to his bright memory. Among its heroes are people who, by the will of fate, linked their lives with Chess. Photos of Boris Dolmatovsky, Alexander Kantorovich, Nikolai Zhuravk, from the archives of the state security service, Irina Alatortseva, Lyudmila Belavenets, Sergey Voronkov, Andrey Yelkov, Isaak and Vladimir Linder.
