    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 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.

    Известный шахматный мастер и тренер Игорь Немцев открывает перед читателями совершенно новый дебют. Дебют Эльшада. Во все времена любители шахмат задавались вопросом, как победить более сильного или более квалифицированного соперника? Очевидно, что сделать это применяя классические дебюты, очень трудно, потому что уровень знаний невозможно поднять за короткое время. Но, начав применять новую, универсальную систему игры за черных, у вас это получится! И причина проста: оригинальность построения не даст вашему сопернику ни одного классического ориентира. Все предыдущие его знания о теории шахмат в данном дебюте не помогут! Особенно хороший результат ждет тех, кто будет применять этот дебют в рапид и блиц. Потому что в этих дисциплинах времени на “опровержение” дебюта Эльшада у соперника не будет вовсе. Парадоксальная система игры в этом дебюте основана, тем не менее, на базовых принципах позиционной игры, а значит доступна для осмысления любому. В дебюте Эльшада уже повержены многие известные шахматисты. В этой книге приводятся победы над гроссмейстерами И.Наумкиным, М.Бродским, Р.Джумабаевым, А.Вулем, А.Кашлинской. “Когда я увидел этот шедевр фантазии шахматного мозга впервые, то был просто поражен... Я начал играть его на ICC и с очень даже неплохими резу- льтатами…”, - пишет об этом универсальном дебютном оружии в предисловии к книге международный гроссмейстер Игорь Коваленко, обладатель 17-го рейтинга в мире по быстрым шахматам. Для широкого круга любителей шахмат.
