    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.

    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 youngest first–grader in the USSR, the world champion among young men, a participant in the candidates tournament at the age of 19 - Boris Spassky's rise was rapid. And then fate gave the brilliant chess player a test of strength: he stumbled twice at the decisive moment and remained beyond the threshold of interzonal tournaments ... Only ten years after his first great success, Spassky managed to pass all the qualifying tests and earn the right to a match for the crown, but he failed to defeat the Iron Tigran Petrosian the first time. It took three more years of super–efforts: by Sisyphus he rose again to the foot of Olympus and did not miss a second chance - in 1969 he became the Tenth king of chess! An essay about the life of Boris Vasilyevich and his sporting path full of ups and downs was written by Dmitry Oleynikov, Candidate of Historical Sciences, curator of the Chess Museum of the Chess Federation of Russia. 70 beautiful and instructive games of Spassky were commented on by the champion of Russia in 1993, the famous author and theorist grandmaster Alexey Bezgodov, as well as grandmaster Dmitry Kryakvin and FIDE master Steve Giddins.

    Об интуиции в среде трейдеров говорят чаще всего с иронией или даже с некоторым сарказмом. Тем не менее роль интуиции велика, а некоторым великим трейдерам действительно были свойственны внезапные озарения. В их числе и Джесси Ливермор, который по праву может считаться наиболее выдающимся трейдером ХХ века. Автор книги считает, что интуитивный трейдинг тоже может быть системной торговлей. Интуитивный метод торговли состоит в умении подмечать закономерности и в создании собственной системы понимания поведения рынка. Методы интуитивного трейдинга позволяют определять наиболее вероятные сценарии поведения рынка, находить оптимальные точки входа и выхода, получать обширную и разнообразную информацию о процессах, происходящих на рынке. Озарение, а с ним чаще всего ассоциируют слово "интуиция", не возникает просто так из ничего. Оно отражает накопленный опыт, притом не просто опыт, а опыт правильно упорядоченный. В осознанном структурировании опыта состоит главная идея интуитивного трейдинга. Автор описывает торговую систему интуитивного трейдера, многие важные закономерности в поведении рынка, а также рассматривает вопросы риск-менеджмента и психологии торговли. Оригинальный метод биржевой торговли, разработанный автором, позволяет эффективно торговать и зарабатывать деньги на финансовых рынках. Книга предназначена для инвесторов, желающих совершенствовать свой личный арсенал торговых приемов, а также для читателей, интересующихся вопросами биржевой торговли. Книга посвящена биржевой торговле, или, точнее сказать, биржевой игре. На обложке книги изображены шахматные фигуры на шахматной доске. Но книга не только по форме, но и по содержанию имеет отношение к шахматам. На страницах 23-27 книги речь идет о том, что интуитивный трейдинг подобен шахматам. Вот пара отрывков из этой главы: Интуитивный трейдинг проще всего описать с помощью аналогии с шахматами. Опытный шахматист, прежде чем сделать ход, анализирует позицию. Его анализ позиции складывается из двух частей: оценки позиции и конкретного расчета ходов. Эти два процесса переплетены между собой. Гроссмейстер оценивает возникшую на доске позицию и определяет возможные ходы. Далее он мысленно делает эти ходы и ответные ходы противника и вновь через какое-то время оценивает позицию. И делает он это на основании мысленных образов – ментальных конструкций. Образ формируется с помощью всех пяти органов чувств, и его структура может быть практически любой. «Для меня проходная пешка – как бы живое разумное существо, со своими невысказанными желаниями, надеждами и сомнениями, которые нам приходится в ней угадывать», – писал Арон Нимцович («Моя система»). Формирование образа включает и сознательные и бессознательные процессы. В шахматах оценка позиции состоит из следующих факторов: пешечное расположение, центр, развитие сил, защищенность короля, открытые линии, активность и взаимодействие фигур и т. д. Периодически шахматист мысленно подводит промежуточные итоги, давая позиции краткую характеристику: чуть лучше, чуть хуже, равно, лучше, хуже, большой перевес, тяжелая позиция, выиграно или проиграно. На рынке аналогом оценки позиции является изучение базовых условий рынка. Понятие базовых условий рынка впервые было раскрыто в книге Джесси Ливермора «Торговля акциями. Классическая формула тайминга, управления капиталом и эмоциями». Не следует путать базовые условия с фундаментальным анализом рынка. Это совсем не одно и то же. Прежде всего базовые условия рынка учитывают эмоции участников рынка, но есть и много других отличий. Про доминирующий фактор: Далее я отметил бы еще один очень важный момент. В шахматной игре очень часто можно выделить один самый существенный фактор: доминирующий фактор позиции. Это может быть, например, слабость пешки в ситуации, где идет позиционная игра, либо это может быть неудачное расположение какой-либо фигуры, создающее предпосылки для проведения выигрывающей комбинации. То есть дальнейшая игра складывается вокруг этого доминирующего фактора. На рынке тоже можно выделить доминирующий фактор, притом он будет специфическим для каждого тайм-фрейма. Для скальпера доминирующим фактором почти всегда является ликвидность. Глядя в стакан, он выясняет, где располагаются заявки, каков их размер, его интересуют потенциальные разрывы ликвидности, которые могут возникнуть при движении рынка в том или ином направлении. Вообще говоря, любого скальпера можно считать стопроцентным интуитивным трейдером. Доминирующий фактор является темой задач и этюдов в шахматной композиции. Причем очень часто цель достигается через парадокс – на основе неожиданного исключения из правила. В этом состоят красота и ценность конкретной шахматной задачи или этюда. На рынке также наибольший результат можно получить тогда, когда рынок поведет себя вопреки общепринятому мнению. На рынке исключения из правил столь часты и ведут к столь серьезным последствиям, что можно считать, что нарушение правил само стало правилом. Я назвал это явление принципом отрицания. Рынок редко следует простой, очевидной для всех логике. Фактически чем логичнее является некое событие, тем вероятнее, что рынок ответит на него неестественным образом. На этом принципе построены самые действенные ценовые модели. Особенно ярко это правило проявляется при торговле на новостях. Другой пример: утренние развороты после сильных гэпов, когда цена сразу же начинает двигаться в противоположном направлении. Рынок всегда стремится заманить нас в ловушку.

    The Soviet system would not be as meaningless as it really was if it had not provided such a "profitable" sport and recreation for itself as chess, not only by the Chess Federation, not only by the department in the USSR Sports Committee, but also close custody of the "armed detachment of the Communist Party" - the KGB. Due to the secret nature of the work of the KGB, his work with respect to the leading Soviet chess players is described little and, most importantly, one-sidedly, mainly, chess players, who had displeasure in their professional life faced with the "care" of the KGB. Now we have a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the work of the KGB "on the chess front" from inside this organization. The book with the eloquent title "The KGB plays chess" was written by several authors: V.K.Popov, a former employee of the KGB of the USSR; SOUTH. Felshtinsky - Doctor of Historical Sciences, author of journalistic publications; B.F. Gulko - international grandmaster, professional chess player, champion of the USSR in 1977; VL Korchny is the four-time champion of the Soviet Union in chess, the two-time winner of interzonal tournaments, the five-time champion of Europe.
