    Believe in yourself! Chess, politics, FIDE
    Author:
    Bologan

    «The idea of continuing the autobiographical book “Steps” has been in the air almost since the moment it was written. Despite the bullet point at the end of the book in the form of a victory over Magnus Carlsen, my chess career continued for another full 14 years, and the subsequent stormy socio-political career is only gaining momentum.” (V. Bologan).  The book contains 75 games commented in detail and a number of fragments. A frank story about the life and professional path, about cooperation with the leading grandmasters and coaches of the world (among them - A. Karpov, G. Kasparov, Yu. Polgar, Zhu Chen, R. Ponomarev, A. Shirov, A. Morozevich, A. Onischuk, A. Ryazantsev, E. Inarkiev, M. Al-Mudakhka, M. Dvoretsky, M. Podgaets, V. Chebanenko, Z. Lanka and others), about political activities in the Parliament of Moldova and about work in FIDE are complemented by numerous photographs.   For a wide range of chess lovers.

  • Petrosyan. Year after year. Volume 2 (1963-1984)
    Petrosyan. Year after year. Volume 2 (1963-1984)
    Author:
    Gezalyan

    International Master Tibor Karolyi and FIDE Master Tigran Gozalyan have prepared a major work (in two volumes) about the life and work of the 9th world chess champion Tigran Petrosyan (he held the title from 1963 to 1969).  Volume II (1963-1984) tells about Petrosyan's victory in the 1963 world title match over Mikhail Botvinnik, about the grandiose two-match confrontation with Boris Spassky in 1966 and 1969, about all his candidates' matches after losing the title – against Bobby Fischer, Viktor Korchnoi and other world-class opponents. All tournaments and matches of the second half of Petrosian's chess career are presented, up to his last performances in 1983. The authors subjected 175 complete games and fragments to an in-depth analysis (using modern computers). Not all of them have been deeply studied and commented on before, but even then the book provides a significantly improved analysis. Among Petrosyan’s opponents – world champions and contenders Kasparov, Karpov, Fischer, Spassky, Tal, Smyslov, Botvinnik, Korchnoi and Bronstein, as well as Timman, Larsen, Reshevsky, Belyavsky, Polugaevsky, Portisch, Romanishin and many others. Special attention is paid to his coaches – Alexey Suetin and Igor Zaitsev.

  • Royal Fortress No. 2 - fianchetto
    Royal Fortress No. 2 - fianchetto
    Author:
    Chernyshov

    The authors continue to study typical opening and middlegame positions. Royal Fortress No. 2 has pawns on squares f7, g6, h7 (or f2, g3, h2), and they are usually joined by another defender – bishop on g7 (g2). This formation is called fianchetto, it is found in many popular openings, such as the Catalan Opening, King's Indian Defense, Grunfeld Defense and a number of others.  The authors analyze in detail the techniques of attack, defense and counterattack. Most examples – from the creativity of modern chess players (for example, a separate chapter is dedicated to the strongest Russian grandmaster Ian Nepomniachtchi); they are complemented by parts that have become a classical heritage. The book contains about 300 positions for independent solution, so it is not only a textbook, but also a solid problem book. Grandmaster Konstantin Chernyshov, head of the Interregional Grandmaster School in Kostroma, and his daughter International Master Natalya Kareva – experienced coaches, whose students include grandmasters and masters, champions of Russia and Europe among juniors.  The book is addressed to young chess players and their mentors.

    RUB

    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.
