    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.

    The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress, containing the games of the International Chess Tournament held at New York in 1889: Author: William Steinitz (1836 – 1900)Title: Sixth American Chess Congress Published: Sixth American Chess Congress, New York, 1891. First edition Binding: Hardcover. Royal octavo (9 3/4" x 7") bound in full leather with gilt lettering to spine. Language: English XXXVIII + 490 pages with table and diagrams Limited to 500 copies. This is copy 267 issued to T. Y. Homatow, Taschkent Contains the report of the Congress Committee and all 432 games with notes by Steinitz. This was a 20-man Double Round Robin Tournament. One of the longest tournaments in history. In the first half of the tournament, draws were counted as a half point. In the second half, they were replayed once. Between the 38 regular rounds, 8 replay rounds, and 4 game playoff for first at the end, there were 50 rounds all told (!). Like the 4th Congress, this tournament consisted largely of foreign masters. The retirement of Captain Mackenzie seems to date from this time (though some sources credit him as US Champion until his death in 1891), giving the top American finisher some claim on being de facto US Champion. The top American finisher was Solomon Lipschutz, who finished in 6th Place with a score of +22-9=7 The book comes with an article by the Soviet masters Aginsky, the former owner of this book. Condition:  Traces of water on the title page, blank page before title page and two blank pages at the end of the book (see photos). 13_small.JPG 14_small.JPG 15_small.JPG 16_small.JPG 17_small.JPG 18_small.JPG 19_small.JPG 20_small.JPG
