    This book is both an excellent manual for independent study, and
    a valuable instructional aid for chess trainers and teachers. Many
    experts even consider that nothing better of its kind has been written.
    As a program for training chess players, it was developed by Victor
    Golenishchev, a USSR master and honoured trainer. Golenishchev’s
    programs (the present book, and also the programs for 2nd category,
    1st category and candidate master) still retain great methodological
    value and are successfully employed in chess teaching. It is noteworthy
    that the present work is extremely popular not only with our
    trainers, but also with foreign experts. The present edition of this
    classic book has been updated with numerous examples from the
    games of the best players of recent years, and reflects modern views
    on chess. The editor-in-chief is the multiple world champion Anatoly
    Karpov.


    This program is intended for the teaching of chess in schools and junior
    clubs, and is aimed at trainers, teachers and club organisers, working with
    young chess players.
    The program assumes that the pupils know the moves of the pieces and
    understand the aim of the game, although the more complicated rules will
    be unfamiliar to them.
    The teaching plan is aimed at 75 lessons (twice a week, each of two hours)
    – a total of 150 hours.
    The scheme of a lesson is roughly as follows: checking of home
    assignment, explanation of theoretical material, recording by the pupils of
    the home assignment and a practical part. The length of the theoretical part
    of the lesson should not exceed 20-30 minutes, since most of the pupils will
    be in junior school classes. Chess attracts them above all as a game, and in an
    effort to cover too much the teacher may kill the keen interest of the young
    listeners.

    Alexander Alekhine won many competitions of the highest rank, and yet his two victories stand apart. The tournaments in San Remo (1930) and Bled (1931) brought together almost all the strongest grandmasters of that time, and the 4th world champion seemed to appear “out of competition”. His separation from the closest pursuers was 3.5 and 5.5 points, respectively! “He is cracking down on us, like with the yellow-and-yellow chicks,” Nimtsovich sighed, stopping the clock after another defeat from Alekhine.
