    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.

    The book of the famous theorist and coach of grandmaster Alexei Bezgodov & laquo; Double Queen Gambit & raquo; & ndash; This is an attempt to provide a chess player of any level with a full debut repertoire in response to 1.d4. Black plays 1 ... d5 and on 2.c4 or 2.Cf3 answer 2 ... c5! It may seem that blacks are not sufficiently ready for an immediate skirmish in the center, however many outstanding grandmasters of the past and present (Em. Lasker, M. Euwe, P. Svidler ...) used this scheme very successfully. Even deep preparation of whites does not guarantee them a real advantage. Having done a serious analytical work, the author offers a number of conceptual innovations and expresses the hope that & laquo; Double Queen's Gambit & raquo; will turn your view on the modern theory of debuts!

    Данная монография посвящена одному из наиболее актуальных дебютов - защите Грюнфельда. Эта защита введена в турнирную практику австрийским гроссмейстером Э. Грюнфельдом в 1922 году, то есть спустя год после появления защиты Алехина; по своим идеям обе защиты имеют много общего. Этот дебют в наши дни прочно вошел в репертуар сильнейших шахматистов мира. Настоящая работа ставит своей целью обобщить практический материал самого последнего времени и дать отдельным продолжениям новую оценку. В книгу включены также анализы М. Ботвинника, подготовленные им для соревнований, но так и не использованные в практической борьбе, - они публикуются впервые.  В соответствии с историческим развитием защиты Грюнфельда в данной монографии прежде всего выделены пять основных систем, которые, в свою очередь, подразделяются на главы и самостоятельные варианты. В конце книги приводятся пояснительные партии. В работе широко использованы последние изыскания ведущих советских и зарубежных шахматистов, которые обогатили защиту Грюнфельда новыми стратегическими идеями. В конце книги читатель найдет пояснительные партии, подробно прокомментированные экс-чемпионом мира М. Ботвинником. Книга рассчитана на шахматистов высокой квалификации.

    This monograph is dedicated to one of the most current debut beginnings - the Grünfeld Defense, which is characterized by the following moves 1. d2-d4 Kg8-f6 2. c2-c4 g7-g6 3. Kb1-c3 d7-d5 or 1. d2-d4 Kg8-f6 2. c2-c4 g7-g6 3. g2-g3 Cf8-g7 4. Cf1-g2 d7-d5. This defense was introduced into the practice of the tournament by Austrian grandmaster EFGrünfeld in 1922 in the fourth installment of his match with Becker. When systematizing the material in this monograph, the authors sought to avoid repetition of the same positions and the confusion in the naming of debut systems, variants and sequels existing in the theory. Therefore, in the book, in accordance with the historical development of the Grunfeld defense, first of all, 6 main systems are distinguished, which separate the independent options that were formed during the development of the opening. The variants and their ramifications are mainly located in a historical sequence. This allows the reader to follow the progress of the debut. The monograph is a bibliographic rarity. Designed for senior level chess players.
