    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.

    Publisher: Russian Chess HouseLanguage: RussianFormat: RegularPages: 560Binding: HardcoverDate: 2020Description:The legendary "Problems and etudes" is the world's first periodical devoted entirely to chess composition (1927-1930). In total, 8 collections were released, which have become a great bibliographic rarity today. In this edition, all of them are combined into one book. These are not only first-class chess compositions and wonderful articles by leading masters of the past that have not lost their relevance today. This is also a fascinating excursion into the history of the USSR in the late 20s of the XX century. Alas, the publication was destined for a short life – in 1930, one of its initiators, the famous chess composer L. B. Zalkind was arrested and convicted in the case of the Union Bureau of the Menshevik party. The time of mass terror had not yet come, and printed publications were already disappearing from the bookshelves of the socialist state. Under the General editorship of the world champion in composition Oleg Pervakov. For a wide range of fans of chess and chess composition.
