    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.

The participants themselves commentated the games. The second games collection appeared a year later, in Germany. The author, Emil Schallopp, a well-known master and chess journalist, used analysis published in the English tournament book extensively, as well as in European chess periodicals. This book includes Schallopp’s commentary. Of course, many of E.Schallopp’s evaluations, especially as periains to the opening, have been disproved by modern theory. Nevertheless, the Russian Chess House left most of his commentary untouched, viewing it as a tribute to the epoch and believing it has great value in terms of chess history. In certain cases, analysis published by Schallopp’s successors and drastically reevaluating many key positions is provided. A few games have been commentated by S. Tarrash, G.Y. Levenfish and P.A.Romanovsky. The round overviews were written by B.Trubitsyn (rounds I-X and XVII-XXI) and B.I.Belensky (rounds XI-XVI). B.Trubitsyn also compiled the informational sources and wrote one of the introductory articles.Note: economy international shipping (without tracking number)

    Chess Book:Author: Linder I.M.Title: Schach. Schachfiguren im Wandel der ZeitPublisher: Verlag der AG «H.G.S», Moskau, 1994Language: GermanBinding: hardcover + supercover + cardboard case288 pages The name of Dr. Isaac Linder is well known owing to his numerous works on the history of chess.Born in November 20, 1920 he began to play chess in his early childhood. Great Lasker gave his praise to the 14-year-old schoolboy.Passion for chess and a professional approach of the historian (Dr. Linder is a graduate of the historian faculty of Moscow University) mark his books "First Russian Chess Master A.D.Petrov" (1952,1955), "Artist of Chess I.S.Shumov" (1959), "At the Putset of Chess Culture" (1967) and "First Russian Chess Masters" (1979). In these monographs many archival materials, unearthed and studies by the author, were used.A fundamental approach also marks his book "Chess in Rus" published by the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1064 and then reissued in 1975. Original research into the chess etymology and chess realities in bylinas (Russian epic) was also done by the author. His book "Chess in Old Russia" was published in English in Switzerland in 1979.This book is the result of Dr. Linder's thirty-year-long research into the history of chess pieces and its interrelation with world culture.For about one and a half thousand years, from the time of emergence of chess up to now, people have been trying to render the true charm of this wise game through the chess pieces they made, displaying outstanding talent, fantasy and resourcefulness. The miniature chessmen have always been genuine works of art no matter what material they were made of (ivory or silver, mother-of-pearl or porcelain), and whether they reflected people's life at different times or were of abstract character.The author of the album is a well-known Russian historian Dr. Isaac Linder who describes in a captivating manner the stages of evolution of figurative and abstract chess pieces from medieval to modern forms. This description is based on a thorough study of private collections and museum pieces. The riches of the art of chess pieces are shown in its entirety, including such archaeological finds as the ancient chess pieces from Afrasiab (seventh to eighth centuries, Uzbekistan), unique porcelain, ivory and metal sets of all times and lands.The album, containing 250 black-and-white and colour illustrations, is a good gift to chess collectors and all lovers of this ancient game.
