    Hundreds of thousands of novice chess players have held in their hands the solution books of “1000 chess problems” for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years of study. These collections became winners of the “Chess Vseobuch of Russia” competition. We decided to combine our three books into one so that the future grandmaster would have more opportunities for improvement and choice of material. It will also be easier for students and coaches to regulate the speed of the material. In the first parts of our book, novice chess players will get acquainted with all possible types of checkmates. Then, future grandmasters will learn to deliver magnificent double blows with a queen and a knight, promote a pawn to a queen. Studying according to this solution book, you will also master the pin, learn to cover yourself from the enemy's pieces, block the enemy's forces, destroy the most reliable fortresses, distract and entice his royal majesty and much more. Work with the book as with a textbook, and do not forget to write down the solutions under each diagram! The correct solutions are at the end of the book. For the widest range of chess fans.

    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.

    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.

    "THIS MATERIAL (INFORMATION) WAS PRODUCED, DISTRIBUTED AND (OR) SENT BY Garry Kimovich Kasparov, WHO IS (THE FOUNDER, MEMBER, PARTICIPANT, HEAD OR A PERSON WHO IS PART OF THE BODY OF PERSONS SPECIFIED IN Part 4 OF Article 9 OF THE FEDERAL LAW "ON CONTROL OVER THE ACTIVITIES OF PERSONS UNDER FOREIGN INFLUENCE") INCLUDED IN THE REGISTER OF FOREIGN AGENTS"  Dmitry Plisetsky's comment: - In the new edition of the 1st volume of Garry Kasparov's book "My Great Predecessors", a number of historical facts have been clarified and the comments on all (!) 148 parties have been thoroughly revised. Many previous scores have changed in the roles of Andersen, Morphy, Steinitz, Chigorin, Tarrasch, Lasker, Capablanca, and Alekhine... For example, in such famous games as the 7th game of the Lasker -Steinitz match (1894) or Pillsbury - Lasker (St. Petersburg 1896), and in all the key games of the Capablanca - Alekhine match (Buenos Aires 1927). Garry Kasparov's five-volume book "My Great Predecessors" has no analogues in chess literature: the 13th world champion tells about the fate and work of twelve previous champions and their rivals, about the century-and-a-half struggle for the world championship. Examining famous games under the microscope of powerful computer programs, the author changes many previous assessments and, in fact, summarizes the development of chess in the 20th century. The first volume is dedicated to the "uncrowned kings" of the past and the first four official world champions — Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca and Alekhine. Here is the second edition, radically expanded and revised. 48 pages of illustrations on coated paper. The second volume is dedicated to the four world champions - Ava, Botvinnik, Smyslov and Tal, as well as the contenders for this title Keres, Bronstein and Geller. Here is the second edition, expanded and radically revised. There are many interesting finds waiting for you, especially in the key games of the matches for the world crown. The fifth volume is dedicated to the world champion Karpov and his historical rival Korchny, their dramatic duels for the chess crown. Here is the second edition, expanded and radically revised. There are many interesting new discoveries waiting for you, especially in the most important games of the famous Baguio match (1978)

    In the fifth book of the series, the Petersburg grandmaster Alexander Khalifman tells readers about rare answers that Black can apply after 1.e4. With the exception of Alekhin’s defense, the remaining debuts in this book are practically not used by the world's leading chess players. Nevertheless, the author devoted quite a lot of analysis to these principles, which were not entirely correct from the point of view of modern theory. After all, a practitioner chess player must be prepared for even the most unexpected opening "surprises" of an opponent.
