Dear sir, With a sincere regret I have to inform the world chess community
about the recent incident of an outright plagiarism. In 2006 the Russian
publishing house “Astrel – AST – Tranzitkniga” has published the
book “Encyclopedia of Chess Combinations” by the author N.M. Kalinichenko.
This book is the exact copy of my chess training CD “Intensive Course
Tactics”, that was released several years earlier by the German company
ChessBase. For the past twenty years, whenever I had some free time from my
fulltime job, during evenings and weekends I have been gathering the
material and developing an original classification of chess combinations
for my CDs. And now the main chess work of my life is stolen and published
under somebody else’s name. It is especially regretable to see that a
renowned chess master, an author of many great books on chess theory, has
stained his name with plagiarism.
George Renko

Snopes: TRUE.

Renko published about 2001 Intensive Course Tactics - Chessbase CD.
Kalinichenko converted the content in 2004 to Chess Combination
Encyclopedia (book). Then Convekta bought the rights from Kalinchenk
and made Chess Combinations Encyclopedia CD. (See Natalia'
([email protected]) comment at the Chess Ninja link.
So two products of Kalinichenko plagiarised Renko: the book and CD
Both companies, Chessbase and Convekta, knew about this since Jan 2006
Nevertheless, Convekta continues to ket Chess Combinations CD an
the book

My all sympathy goes to George Renko,
and I have in contempt the dishonest
actions by Kalinchenko and his business
partners in crime.
With this kind of blatant stealing there should
be some legal resources in our 21st century
Global Village to get justice. Perhaps someone
can give a good advice to George Renko, or
help in some other way.
Regards,
Wlod

Well, there are but it's very expensive to sue somebody in a different
country. It's also worth bearing in mind that if Renko transferred
the copyright in his work to its publisher (which is usually the
case), only the publisher can sue for breach of copyright.
