    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.

    Coated paper, color printing, great gift! 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.
