The structure of the book is simple and attractive: openings are examined using examples from actual games, each of which is presented in the form of a lesson with its own name. Several such lessons form an opening theme, and the examination of each theme concludes with exercises. In each opening, attention is drawn to its characteristic tactical and strategic ideas of combinations for independent solution strictly corresponds to the opening theme. Written in clear and easy language, the book is furnished with a large number of diagrams.

Regular work solve two problems: deepen the student's knowledge and develop his tactical vision, thus improving his skill and results.

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).

    Fine

    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 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.

    Центральным событием шахматной жизни всегда было сражение за мировую шахматную корону. Кто решал судьбу шахматной короны? Кто принимал участие в чемпионатах мира? Как развивалась борьба? Кто в конце концов становился обладателем почетного приза? Ответы на эти вопросы дает книга председателя Комитета Международной шахматной федерации (ФИДЕ) «Шахматы — искусство», заслуженного тренера СССР, международного гроссмейстера Э. Гуфельда и члена Союза журналистов Украины, мастера спорта Украины Е. Лазарева. Читатели ознакомятся с самыми яркими партиями соревнований, многие из которых комментировали чемпионы мира, известные гроссмейстеры. Как быстро летит время! Кажется, что совсем недавно состоялся первый матч за шахматную корону — а ведь с тех пор пролетело уже более ста лет... Если бы шахматная корона могла говорить... Это была бы драматическая повесть о человеческих судьбах, о взлетах и падениях, о надеждах и крушениях, о неожиданных потерях и удивительных находках. Перелистаем страницы летописей короны. Ее судьба решалась десятки раз. Каждому из таких событий посвящен отдельный очерк. Рассмотрим по одной партии из каждого чемпионата мира, в котором разыгрывался титул чемпиона по шахматам. Подберем эти партии так, чтобы вспомнить комментарии к ним самих участников или авторитетных гроссмейстеров, в том числе чемпионов мира и претендентов. С поединками последнего десятилетия ознакомимся более подробно. Вниманию читателей предложены многие партии этих соревнований. Для широкого круга читателей.

    Таллин, 1950 год. Эстонское государственное издательство. Настоящая книга посвящена матч-турниру 1948 года, давшему первого советского чемпиона мира — Михаила Ботвинника. Основное содержание книги — это детальный анализ пятидесяти партий, сыгранных в этом соревновании. Подробные примечания к партиям написаны для самого широкого круга квалифицированных шахматистов, причем особенное внимание обращено на популярность изложения и на выявление в партиях важнейших переломных моментов. Критика допущенных участниками ошибок может показаться местами слишком суровой, однако она является плодом тщательного анализа и должна принести пользу шахматистам, которые захотят сделать нужные им теоретические и практические выводы из партий матч-турнира. При разборе дебютов особое внимание уделено разъяснению основных идей, характеризующих различные системы дебютного развития, что облегчает понимание и последующей фазы партии — мительшпиля. Равным образом и в мительшпиле автор стремился по возможности избегать сухого перечня вариантов, заменяя их разъяснением характерных идей, таящихся в тех или иных позициях, что, несомненно, облегчает усвоение материала и повышает его поучительность. В эндшпилях, правда немногочисленных, правильный, как мне казалось, план игры обычно разъясняется заранее, — до того, как приводится фактическое продолжение в партии, — чтобы дать читателю возможность сравнить события в партии с другими путями, по которым могла или должна была бы развиваться игра.

      The winners of the XII USSR Championship were invited to participate in the 1941 match tournament: I. Bondarevsky, A. Lilienthal, V. Smyslov, P. Keres, I. Boleslavsky and M. Botvinnik. After the participants of the match tournament became known, the tournament program was also determined. Everyone had to play four games with each other — in fact, a small match. Thus, the match tournament consisted of four rounds. Mikhail Moiseevich said that this book is the best thing he has done in the field of chess analysis. Meanwhile, it was created in the most difficult conditions: during the war, during the evacuation. The chess player's family of 6 people lived in the room, and every day, coming home from work, he worked on a table made up of suitcases, believing that in this way he retains his analytical power for future achievements. M.M. often said that real science according to "Parkinson's Law" is done in a barn, and as soon as it appears The doorman in livery at the front door, science ends. Apparently, this also applies to literary and chess work. Another episode related to the book dates back to 1970. A.A.Bykhovsky (at that time the senior coach of the USSR youth national team) led Alexander Belyavsky to Botvinnik. Then M. M. said that Belyavsky was shown to him too late. What do you mean it's late, you asked him again? "17 years is too late, the chess player has already been formed," Mikhail Moiseevich replied. The young man liked it, and Botvinnik gave him this book for careful study. A few months later, she was returned with the words: "I wanted to find at least one error in the analysis, but I didn't find it!"
