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.

    Комплект фарфоровых шахмат в восточно-народном стиле. Сделан в России в художественно–экспериментальной лаборатории, в которой изготавливают высокохудожественные изделия способом ручного литья. Фарфоровая масса РМ 905В (шликер) вручную заливается в гипсовые формы. Данная технология дает возможность получать тонкостенные изделия и изделия сложной формы (к которым относится данный комплект фарфоровых сувенирных шахмат). Все изделия – полуфабрикаты после высушивания вручную замываются для удаления литейных и формовочных швов. Высушенные и обработанные изделия ставятся на этажерочные кассеты и проходят утильный 1-й обжиг при температуре 990С камерной печи французской фирмы SERIC WISTRA. В процессе обжига происходит удаление органических соединений и начало процесса спекания полуфабриката. После 1-го обжига полуфабрикаты глазуруются методом окунания на глазуровочной машине фирмы SAMA глазурью марки ER 210Z. После глазурования изделия – полуфабрикаты ставятся на этажерочные кассеты и проходят 2-й обжиг при температуре 1400С в камерной печи фирмы SERIC WISTRA. Готовые фарфоровые изделия выбираются из кассет и проходят обработку шлифовки ножки на шлифовальной машине фирмы SAMA для удаления прилипших частиц к ножке изделий. Технические возможности завода , качество применяемого сырья , а также профессиональный и творческий подход коллектива к своей работе - все это позволяет выпускать высокохудожественные изделия из фарфора прикладного декоративно –утилитарного назначения с ручной (авторской ) росписью. Натуральный белый цвет представляет широчайшие возможности для росписи. В своем творчестве художники – фарфористы используют сложнейшую технологию - ручную роспись по белому полю фарфора специальными жаропрочными красками ярких , сочных тонов. При изготовлении сувенирных фарфоровых шахмат используются керамические золотосодержащие краски, после чего высокохудожественные изделия обжигаются в электрической печи при температуре 820С.
