    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.

    Gift Edition, coated paper. "Fight and search, find and never give up!" - these famous words can be safely considered the motto of the author of the book. Yuri Alexandrovich Zharkov - a man of amazing willpower and fortitude. He managed, having lost sight, to realize himself in chess. However, a collection of his tasks is not at all a tribute to the courage of the author. The book is valuable and interesting in the first place because many of Zharkov’s works can be safely added to the category of the undoubted creative successes of the Samara chess composer. I have no doubt that acquaintance with this book will bring a lot of pleasant moments to all fans of Kaissa, and finding solutions to a whole range of tasks will not be easy even for very skilled chess players.
