    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.

    In the vast ocean of chess literature there are relatively few books about the endgame, and only a few of them can be considered true chess classics. And the most outstanding among the classics — Reuben Fine's book "Basic Chess Endings". Reuben Fine (1914−1993) was for a long time one of the best chess players in the world. As an author, Fine showed himself to be an excellent analyst who understood the full depth and peculiarities of the endgame. Having studied various types of standard positions, Fine established useful rules for practical play and proved himself to be an experienced teacher who, using skillfully chosen examples, was able to teach the reader all the necessary lessons and introduce him to the basic ideas of the endgame. Many generations of chess players in different countries of the world keep copies of “Basic Chess Endings”. For example, Mikhail Botvinnik considered Fine's work the most worthy of all that had ever been written on endgame theory.

    The published book is a combination of two works by Viktor Haimovich Pesin. In the first of these, the author, using a peculiar trick, unites in a conversation and debate about the art of chess of outstanding chess players of different eras and worldviews. The patroness of chess, Kaissa, was chosen as the “mistress” of this representative symposium, which gives the narrative relaxation and freedom of convention. Using a wide literary and historical material, the writer in lively form, through the mouths of characters, tells about the life and work of the famous maestro of the last three centuries, major chess events and fights, introduces the reader to the atmosphere of competitions and chess interests of the past. No less remarkable is the second work included in this book: here the author managed to completely combine his subtle psychologism and lyricism with the original and, at the same time, extremely fascinating plot. The book is designed for a wide range of readers, especially for those who ...

    This book consists of twenty conversations, covering various chess topics. The first twelve conversations, as it should be in the textbook, are devoted to the three stages of a chess game. The first of five debut conversations tells about popular combinations and traps at the start of the battle. And in the second conversation, super-fast victories are collected, and all games here belong to world champions! The following three conversations are more solid. The examples of games played at the highest grandmaster level show how to play open, half-open and closed openings, respectively. Further there are four conversations about the middle game. The first two are tactics, the other two are more about the strategy of the game. Here are numerous combinations - from typical, educational to famous, classic. In one of the conversations there was a collection of combinations with the queen sacrifice, made in the games of chess kings! Finally, three more conversations are dedicated to the endgame. The most common endings that are most often encountered in practice are pawns and rooks.

    Frankly, I began to read this book with skepticism. And in vain! The further, the more you fall under the charm of the author’s ironic personality. Soft, not humorous humor, ease of thought and style, juicy chess examples with unexpected endings. All this could already be appreciated by the readers of & quot; 64 & quot ;, where several stories that have been included in this collection have been tested.   Most of it is given to the marvelous "landscape gardening" park. chess, filled with the clash of blitz, bikes and brandy. But flashes and leading figures of varying degrees of adulthood. & quot; It was enough for me to cross the street, go to the next school and, catching the little Boria Spassky on the break, strictly ask: "Well, how does Zack teach you there?" & quot; & quot; Here is a meeting with Vitya Korchnoi in besieged Leningrad, and a cruel defeat by the modest pioneer Vova Kramnik, and a surreal simultaneous game session in Spanish Plinares, in which the author beautifully blew Barry Klimovich Bazarov himself ... Truth and fiction, reality and mystification are to separate one from another sometimes as difficult as the vodka from tomato juice in a famous cocktail. But is it worth separating? Drink in small sips at night, and no bad dreams you will not dream!
