    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.

    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.

    Author: E. Lasker Title: My Game with Capablanca Published: Leningrad, 1925 Binding: Softback Language: Russian Pages: 64Emanuel Lasker — German chess player and mathematician, representative of the positional school, the second world chess champion (won this title from Steinitz in 1894 and lost to Capablanca in 1921). Lasker kept the title of world champion for 27 years, which is a record achievement for chess. Even after losing the title, he continued to perform at the highest level until he was 68 years old.Lasker had a universal style of play, but his strongest sides were considered positional flair and endgame. Many biographers and researchers call Lasker the discoverer of the psychological approach to chess: it is believed that Lasker was often ready to go to the deterioration of its position to direct the game in an inconvenient direction for a particular opponent. This point of view is popular even now, although some experts consider it a mistake and explains Lasker's achievements with a deep understanding of chess and the ability to assess the pros and cons of a particular continuation of the party.Throughout his chess career, Lasker repeatedly stopped performing for several years to study mathematics and philosophy. Lasker defended his doctoral thesis in mathematics in 1901, and his main achievement in mathematics was a theorem called by his name and the name of Emmy Noether, which generalized Lasker's original result. In addition, Lasker published several philosophical works and literary works.
