Chess Book:  Author: Emil Schallopp Title: Hastings 1895 Chess Tournament Publisher: Moscow, Russian Chess House, 2017 Binding: Hardcover Language: EnglishFormat: Increased 358 pagesThe first Hastings international chess tournament games collection was published in England in 1895, not long after the competition took place. 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)

This is a gift edition. Coated paper. Metal corners. Author: Mark Taimanov Title: Remembering the Best Ones Published: Saint-Petersburg, 2010 Binding: Hardback Language: Russian Pages: 216   In a colorful and bright kaleidoscope of meetings, acquaintances, events can not be the classical unity of place and time. And significance. Something flashed, leaving a barely noticeable trace in memory, which turned out to be something important stuck out. Some travelers remained what is called `nodding`. Others have grown into long-term friendship. Of course, meetings with prominent political figures are of a special nature - they seem, perhaps, the most unusual, curious, sometimes very flattering, but mostly accidental. The art world is different. With colleagues contacts and deeper, and more lasting, but, too, usually episodic - life, tour scatter in time and space. But with colleagues across the chess weapons is often attributed to years, if not decades. Joint trips, long tournaments, training, where you live for a long time side by side and together `eat poods of salt`, determine a special degree of mutual awareness and spiritual openness. The character of the impressions sunk into memory is also incomparable - from watercolor sketches to monumental paintings. I hope the reader will not complain about the inevitable disproportion of narrative forms. The main criterion I considered the uniqueness and importance of my heroes, the brightness of their personalities.   Mark TaimanovArt MN
