    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 authors continue to study typical opening and middlegame positions. Royal Fortress No. 2 has pawns on squares f7, g6, h7 (or f2, g3, h2), and they are usually joined by another defender – bishop on g7 (g2). This formation is called fianchetto, it is found in many popular openings, such as the Catalan Opening, King's Indian Defense, Grunfeld Defense and a number of others.  The authors analyze in detail the techniques of attack, defense and counterattack. Most examples – from the creativity of modern chess players (for example, a separate chapter is dedicated to the strongest Russian grandmaster Ian Nepomniachtchi); they are complemented by parts that have become a classical heritage. The book contains about 300 positions for independent solution, so it is not only a textbook, but also a solid problem book. Grandmaster Konstantin Chernyshov, head of the Interregional Grandmaster School in Kostroma, and his daughter International Master Natalya Kareva – experienced coaches, whose students include grandmasters and masters, champions of Russia and Europe among juniors.  The book is addressed to young chess players and their mentors.

    France, Russia. The middle - the end of the 90s of the 20th century. Russian chess master Viktor Odintsov plays at a tournament in a suburb of Paris. But instead of an honestly earned prize, by the will of circumstances, he falls into a French prison ... Once released, he again encounters an insurmountable barrier - a kind of "French wired" associated with an unfair game of opponents, the arbitrariness of the judges. Victor has a girlfriend, Simon, who helps him. However, the Russian player is haunted by one setback after another. Odintsov, driven to despair, invents a tricky way, his "know-how", with which he begins to smash all rivals. Together with Simone, Victor overcomes numerous obstacles raised by their detractors. He comes to the main match with the world champion. And confidently leads in this fight, where the opposing team uses dirty game methods. A step before Odintsov’s victory, the French beauty Genevieve intervenes in events, avenging her rejected love. And Victor would inflict a seemingly crushing blow to the back ... The novel tells about the difficult fate of Russian emigrants living in France.
