    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.

    Goed, Stevie Wonder en James Brown ontbraken zaterdag bij de loting voor het 32ste internationale schaaktoernooi Groningen. Maar voor het overige heet Johan Zwanepol niet alleen een groot aantal internationale topschakers naar de Martinihal gezogen, zijn Stichting Schaak Groningen had ook een lotingsritueel bedacht dat zeer enerverend uitpakte. Al was het alleen al omdat sommige grootmeesters zich er haast een gebroken been aan struikelden. Maar liefst 54 wereldtoppers zoren samen voor het - in de breedte - sterkst bezette toernooi ter wereld gehouden. Zwanepol was er in geslaagd het gros van hen bij de loting te laten opdraven. Natuurlijk, Robert Hübner liet verstek gaan, want die doet niet aan lotingen, en de Nederlander Loek van Wely was er evenmin omdat hij nu eenmaal op pad is. Of hij is op weg naar een toernooi of hij komt er net vandaan. Of, zoals zaterdag, een combinatie van beide mogelijkheden. Het groninger toernooi doet tevens dienst als kwalificatie toernooi voor de wereldtitel schaken in de rebelse PCA-versie, die van Garry Kasparov. Als rode draad door de openingsceremonie liep dan ook het bekende liedje 'welles' (Kasparov is wereldkampioen) 'nietes' (want Karpov is dat al namens de FIDE) dat in de komende tijd ongetwijfeld alleen nog maar luider zal klinken. Toch bleef die discussie op de achtergrond door het spektakel dat zich deze middag, soms onbedoeld, afspeelde. Daar was het melkflesje, dat door een nog vrij verse vader al meedrummend voor de voeten van de zingende gastvrouw Hanneke Kappen werd geworpen - de baby kreeg vanzelfsprekend de schuld. En daar was de lotingsmachine.
