    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.

Several such lessons form an opening theme, and the examination of each theme concludes with exercises. In each opening, attention is drawn to its characteristic tactical and strategic ideas of combinations for independent solution strictly corresponds to the opening theme.

Tournaments and matches

    Un torneo largo no es una simple colección de partidas. Si además los participantes son los jugadores más fuertes del mundo las partidas adquieren entionces una marcada interconexión: están llenas de ideas que cristalizan y se desarrollan durante el curso de la competición y ésta, entretanto, representa un estadio particular en el desarrollo del pensamiento ajedrécistico... Las partidas de un torneo de grandes maestros acercan al lector a la esfera creativa de los líderes del ajedrez y muestran como va tomando forma la batalla, cómo se va creando un ambiente ajedrecístico. El autor se ha centrado en el área más inexplorada y más interesante del ajedrez: EL MEDIO JUEGO y su tratamiento por parte de los maestros de hoy, esta es la orientación básica de esta obra..."

    Das Kandidatenturnier zur Schach-WM von 1953 ist zweifellos als eine der Sternstunden in die Schachgeschichte eingegangen. 15 Großmeister der absoluten Spitzenklasse ermittelten seinerzeit in Zürich in einem wahrhaft gigantischen Wettkampf über 30 Runden den Herausforderer für die Schachkrone. Ein Glücksfall war, daß zu den Kandidaten dieses Schachmarathons auch der Autor dieses Buches gehörte. Dem exzellenten Analytiker David Bronstein, der damals den ehrenvollen zweiten Platz belegte, verdanken wir so ein einmaliges Turnierbuch. In einer Umfrage der populären Zeitschrift "The British Chess Magazine" nach dem besten Schachbuch, das je geschrieben wurde, kam der Titel des sowjetischen Großmeisters unter 101 Bewerbern auch Rang zwei. David Bronstein (Vizeweltmeister 1951) gibt in diesem Turnierbuch einen tiefen Einblick in die Denkweise der Supergroßmeister. Er ist tiefsinnig, unterhaltend und selbstkritisch. Das Buch hat eigentlich 5 Sterne verdient, doch hat der deutsche Herausgeber leider einige Kürzungen gegenüber der russischen Originalausgabe ("mezhdunarodnij turnir grossmeisterov") vorgenommen. Der komplette Text ist auch noch in der englischen Ausgabe ("The Chess Struggle in Practice") zu erhalten. Hingewiesen sei noch auf das Buch von Max Euwe (WM von 1935-37) zum gleichen Turnier "Schachelite im Kampf", erschienen als Reprint im Olms Verlag Zürich.

    Preface: "For this second volume of the 'Caissa Limited Editions' we have chosen a facsimile edition of the tournament book for the City of London Chess Club Tournament in 1900. Though this tournament is not of the very first rank, the tournament book itself is scarce and the games little known; yet with an entry of Teichmann, Gunsberg, Mason, and England's greatest player, Blackburne, it was certainly not an insignificant event.
