    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.

    In this book, the authors confined themselves to the study of the most typical and most often encountered in practice rook endings. In this paper, the authors used an interesting way. Elementary positions are first examined, and the technique for achieving a win or draw is based on natural logical moves. Tactical subtleties are shown only where they are really needed. The transition to rook ends with two or more pawns was carried out in the order of a sequential increase in the material, and the authors sought to show the relationship with simpler endings. A whole series of such endings was investigated for the first time. In the last chapter, the authors, on the basis of the material worked out, summarized the main ideas that should be used when drawing rook endings. These ideas serve as guiding lighthouses in a maneuverable struggle and should facilitate the reader's choice in the right way. The book is a bibliographic rarity. It is designed for a qualified chess player.
