    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.

    Fine

    In the vast ocean of chess literature there are relatively few books about the endgame, and only a few of them can be considered true chess classics. And the most outstanding among the classics — Reuben Fine's book "Basic Chess Endings". Reuben Fine (1914−1993) was for a long time one of the best chess players in the world. As an author, Fine showed himself to be an excellent analyst who understood the full depth and peculiarities of the endgame. Having studied various types of standard positions, Fine established useful rules for practical play and proved himself to be an experienced teacher who, using skillfully chosen examples, was able to teach the reader all the necessary lessons and introduce him to the basic ideas of the endgame. Many generations of chess players in different countries of the world keep copies of “Basic Chess Endings”. For example, Mikhail Botvinnik considered Fine's work the most worthy of all that had ever been written on endgame theory.

    Книга по стратегии и тактике шахмат при тесной связи всех трех стадий - дебюта, миттельшпиля и эндшпиля на основе 124 партий, из них 122 разыграны староиндийской защитой, распределенных по 8 темам - мобилизация сил, борьба за пространство, атака и защита короля, открытые линии, проходные пешки, пешечные слабости, разрушение пешечной цепи, хорошие и плохие фигуры. Внутри каждой главы каждая партия (или их группа) иллюстрирует определенную частную позиционную идею. Второй том "Шахматного учебника" дополняет и углубляет материал первой книги, впервые изданной в 1996 году, по стратегии и тактике шахмат в более тесной связи с начальной стадией партии, поскольку содержит свыше ста партий, разыгранных одним дебютом. Был выбран дебют, отличающийся многообразием стратегических и тактических идей, - староиндийская, который является для юных шахматистов прекрасной школой прежде всего сложного, насыщенного комбинационными возможностями миттельшпиля. Автор сделал упор не на заучивание вариантов, а на понимание позиционных идей дебюта и вытекающих из него миттельшпилей и эндшпилей. Автор считает, что книга будет полезна не только "староиндийцам" и тем, кто вступит в их ряды, но и юным шахматистам, применяющим другие дебюты, поскольку посвящена общим позиционным законам шахмат. Книга содержит 60 замечательных этюдов для самостоятельного решения. В основном, эти позиции соответствуют темам плохие и хорошие фигуры, координация сил, проходные пешки, но реально они охватывают значительно большее количество позиционных идей и представляют собой прекрасное собрание стратегических и тактических приемов. Книга предназначена для разрядников и всех любителей шахмат.
