    Автор – мастер спорта СССР, тренер ФИДЕ. Среди его учени- ков чемпион мира среди школьников до 7 лет Дерек Лим, чемпион мира до 18 лет Самвел Тер-Саакян и др. В книге раскрывается малоисследованная, но важная, яркая и очень увлекательная тема – игра королем в дебюте и миттельшпи- ле. Король может не только прятаться в убежище, но и принимать активное участие в обороне и даже совершать марш-бросок через всю доску, чтобы помочь поставить мат неприятельскому монарху! «Чувством короля» обладали все чемпионы мира. Автор особенно выделяет в их ряду В. Стейница, Т. Петросяна и А. Карпова. Совре- менные гроссмейстеры также хорошо владеют игрой королем, в чем читатель убедится, разбирая приведенные в книге партии Н. Шор- та, И. Чепаринова, Ван Хао, Я. Непомнящего и др. Включив умение играть королем в арсенал стратегических приемов, вы повысите свое мастерство и станете лучше понимать шахматы в целом. "С Тиграном Гезаляном я знаком практически с той поры, как я начал играть в шахматы. Учитывая то, что он человек очень начитанный и чуткий , для моих родителей был всегда желанным собеседником, и порой помогал советами в пору моего становления. Большинство учеников Тиграна имеют очень важные особенности - они хорошо эрудированны и бесстрашны. Один из моих секундантов и друзей гроссмейстер Самвел Тер-Саакян имеет все эти положительные качества как игрок и человек , так как является учеником Гезаляна. Тема которую поднимает автор, впервые была введена в практику первым чемпионом мира по шахматам Вильгельмом Стейницем. Абсолютно новаторская идея, особенно в век, когда игроки жертвовали комплекты фигур ради того, чтобы вытащить короля на прогулку, была принята с прохладцей. Как это так - король может сам себя защитить?! Потребовалось много времени, чтоб игроки начали использовать короля без опаски, но и до сих пор порой можно увидеть гроссмейстеров которые боятся оставлять короля в центре. Данная книга в деталях освещает эту редкую тему, и надеюсь, что любой читатель найдет в ней для себя много нового о нашей любимой игре." Левон АРОНЯН, гроссмейстер.
