    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.

When solving most positions, double strikes, which are often encountered in practice, are used, but many positions with non-standard solutions (double strike by castling, double strike by two pieces, using a weak promotion of a pawn, etc.).

    In the first part of the book, called One Solution, and consisting of 270 positions, - the task "Mate 1 move"; the usual, one might say standard: the side whose turn is indicated below the diagram checkmates. Name of the second part – "Multiple Solutions" - speaks for itself. Each of the positions has several solutions, but the number of ways in a particular position is not indicated. The task is considered complete if all the continuations leading to the checkmate are given. And, finally, the third, last part – "No hints" - the most difficult. Again, you need to checkmate in 1 move, only now it is not indicated who owns the turn of the move, nor the number of ways to be found. In addition, in some positions, "mutual" mate, i.e. both White and Black can checkmate. For these positions, the decision should indicate all methods of mating for both sides. Such a minimal amount of preliminary information in the examples from the third part creates the prerequisites for a more thorough study of the position, teaches you to follow the peculiarities of the location of not only someone else's, but also your own king. This manual will allow a novice chess player to consolidate the rules of the game with the help of specific tasks, to better understand how the pieces interact with each other, and also to get acquainted with pinning and overlapping, open attack and double check, i.e. with those chess tricks that are often found in the game.

    The book brought to your attention contains: 50 tests, 12 positions each, the time allotted for the test is 1 hour. The subject of examples is extensive (35 types in total), their order is random, so it is difficult to deduce any patterns, there is only one way left: to study the position, analyze what you see, highlight the main thing and draw conclusions with the help of reasoning, i.e. offer a solution. If the solution is correct, then you get a certain number of points for it (from one to four). The sum of points scored in solving the positions of one test will allow you to judge the level of your preparation. Before proceeding to solve this or that example, you should first carefully study the position. The order in this case can be as follows: first of all, we are interested in the location of the kings, then the balance of power, then we look at which pieces and pawns (our own and others') are under attack, which ones are poorly protected, and, finally, we pay attention to confrontations, i.e. . bundles and "ambushes". How well you do this will determine the correct answer. We hope that the solution of these tests will be a good basis for your future victories.
