    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.

    The authors continue to study typical opening and middlegame positions.

    Grandmaster Viorel Bologan's theoretical work is devoted to the Rossolimo system in the Sicilian Defense (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5). Once reputed to be harmless to blacks, this scheme has come to the forefront of modern opening theory and is regularly seen in top-level competitions, including world championship matches. Due to the deep positional basis and the absence of long computer options "to a draw" the system moved the continuation 3.d4 into the repertoire of many elite grandmasters. In the Rossolimo system, original pawn structures often appear that require unconventional, deeply thought-out actions. The book is addressed primarily to those who want to use this system for whites. However, and "black" it will also be useful: all the most dangerous schemes for White are considered here, and the lateral variations are easy to study on your own. Decision positions will help you get a better feel for the strategic and tactical intricacies of this system. For a wide range of chess lovers.
