At the end of this year, I plan to publish the 2nd part of the book "Russian Grands of draughts composition", which will contain mainly my creations.
Also, it will have different memories and photos of draugth activities I participated in.
This edition will be made at a high level printing and be distributed to my close friends and relatives.
the book will not be offered for sale or exchange. The number of books to be printed will be equal to the number of persons in my list.
But if you wish to have this book in your library you can take part in the competition - solving of my selected compositions.
The one's who will send me the solutions will get the book.
However, I note, though the edition will be donated to you it won't be sent free of charge. The book can be picked up in Moscow or sent by post at the cost of the recipient (this will take also some time).
The solutions should be sent to my e-mail: evgraf_zubov@mail.ru before November 20
After that date, the list of people who will get the 2nd part of the book "Grand Russians of draughts composition" will be finalized, and in accordance with it, I will print the book.
There are 20 positions.
In all positions White to move and win.
I tried to choose the compositions with original ideas, where the initial setup might be unpleasant for the eyes of a practic player.
OK, this is my wish - the positions are to be solved, not to admire them.
I believe that the one who will use today the time for solving will read the book also in feature.
