    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).

    The youngest first–grader in the USSR, the world champion among young men, a participant in the candidates tournament at the age of 19 - Boris Spassky's rise was rapid. And then fate gave the brilliant chess player a test of strength: he stumbled twice at the decisive moment and remained beyond the threshold of interzonal tournaments ... Only ten years after his first great success, Spassky managed to pass all the qualifying tests and earn the right to a match for the crown, but he failed to defeat the Iron Tigran Petrosian the first time. It took three more years of super–efforts: by Sisyphus he rose again to the foot of Olympus and did not miss a second chance - in 1969 he became the Tenth king of chess! An essay about the life of Boris Vasilyevich and his sporting path full of ups and downs was written by Dmitry Oleynikov, Candidate of Historical Sciences, curator of the Chess Museum of the Chess Federation of Russia. 70 beautiful and instructive games of Spassky were commented on by the champion of Russia in 1993, the famous author and theorist grandmaster Alexey Bezgodov, as well as grandmaster Dmitry Kryakvin and FIDE master Steve Giddins. The preface was written by the 14th world champion Vladimir Kramnik. For a wide range of chess fans.

Grigori Kaygorodov, a doctor and poet from Uray, is sure that learning to play chess is not as difficult as it seems, & ndash; a little harder than learning to read. And he published a book in verse titled "The Alphabet of Chess". Since the circulation is not large (only one and a half thousand copies) the book can only be found in Uray & ndash; in bookstores or in kindergartens, where kids gradually learn to play chess. After all, each figure is described in simple verses with simple rhymes. It is much easier for babies to memorize information submitted in this way. In addition to the poems themselves, there are simple and vivid illustrations in the book & ndash; pictures and diagrams. As the author himself says, all this has been done to ensure that modern children stop paying so much attention and time to computers, and become more engaged in things that are useful for themselves. After all, chess improves memory, develops logical thinking, and also contributes to greater dedication and perseverance. In addition to the book, Kaygorodov created the & laquo; nursery & raquo; chess & ndash; incomplete set without queenside. His desire to develop the chess elite of Russia has already been noticed by Moscow grandmasters and chess coaches. Although it will be possible to judge the effectiveness of the textbook only in a few years.
