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.

    Publisher: Russian Chess HouseLanguage: RussianFormat: RegularPages: 560Binding: HardcoverDate: 2020Description:The legendary "Problems and etudes" is the world's first periodical devoted entirely to chess composition (1927-1930). In total, 8 collections were released, which have become a great bibliographic rarity today. In this edition, all of them are combined into one book. These are not only first-class chess compositions and wonderful articles by leading masters of the past that have not lost their relevance today. This is also a fascinating excursion into the history of the USSR in the late 20s of the XX century. Alas, the publication was destined for a short life – in 1930, one of its initiators, the famous chess composer L. B. Zalkind was arrested and convicted in the case of the Union Bureau of the Menshevik party. The time of mass terror had not yet come, and printed publications were already disappearing from the bookshelves of the socialist state. Under the General editorship of the world champion in composition Oleg Pervakov. For a wide range of fans of chess and chess composition.
