    The answer book of an international grandmaster and an experienced coach (among whose students is A. Grischuk) Bloch's Maxim contains over 1200 combinations from practical games and specially compiled examples. All tasks are characterized by intense struggle, in which the goal is achieved by single moves. The book is intended for both young and adult amateurs, and for masters. The arrangement of examples by topic allows you to use the book not only as a task book, but also as a textbook. Of particular interest are over two hundred specially compiled by the author overstressed positions in which white wins the only way during the course of white, and black wins during the course of black. These examples, as well as over 50 fragments from the parties of the author and his students, are published for the first time.

Chess pieces with artistic painting in excellent condition without the Board or box Was created in Russia with a beautiful work of wood combined with hand paintings.

Baku Khan was the grandson of the more famous Genghis. Legend had it that Genghis's tribe had red hair, which also ties in with the gold pieces. Baku's army was also known as the golden horde.                 Talking about the shields, the gold piece shown has a coat of arms that although not Mongolian, bears close resemblance to the present day coat of arms for Kursk, but with different colours employed. The Kursk coat of arms is bend azure with three partridges argent. Is the colour change on the piece purely to highlight the connection to Kursk, but also to show that the gold pieces were the opposition to the Russian defenders   The board is not included
