How ChessDocs works with chess literature

Sources

The material on this site is based on chess books, above all Soviet-era editions. Every edition used is listed on the Sources page, and each article links to its source at the bottom of the page.

Book covers are shown on the source pages only to identify the edition in question.

Games, positions, and ideas of play are not protected by copyright (Art. 1259 § 5 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). Quotations are given for teaching purposes, with the author and edition named, and no longer than the purpose of the quotation warrants (Art. 1274 § 1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
