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).

Во все времена любители шахмат задавались вопросом, как победить более сильного или более квалифицированного соперника?
