    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 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 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. The preface was written by the 14th world champion Vladimir Kramnik. For a wide range of chess fans.

    Шахматная Школа История шахмат насчитывает более десяти веков. Эта древняя игра сочетает в себе элементы науки, искусства и спорта. Шахматы способствуют развитию фантазии и концентрации внимания, воспитанию характера и воли, приучают логически мыслить. Научиться играть в шахматы не поздно в любом возрасте. Программа "Шахматная школа" рассчитана на детей и взрослых, делающих первые шаги в шахматах. Программа прекрасно подходит как для индивидуального обучения, так и для работы в классах с большим количеством учеников. Обучающий материал подготовлен заслуженным тренером России гроссмейстером Юрием Разуваевым, который в 70-е годы был одним из тренеров Анатолия Карпова. В нее входят три больших самостоятельных курса, которые можно изучать как последовательно, так и выборочно. В курсе "Правила шахматной игры" собран обширный теоретический материал, подкрепленный практическими заданиями. Обучающемуся предлагается, во-первых, изучить правила и приемы игры. Курс "Развитие интеллектуальных способностей" развивает воображение, логическое мышление и концентрацию внимания. С курсом "Игра с программой" вы закрепите полученные навыки и отточите мастерство в сражениях с компьютером. В "Шахматную Школу" встроена игровая программа, предполагающая игру с любой позиции на различных уровнях. Играя с компьютером, как с оппонентом, вы окунетесь в атмосферу шахматной партии и почувствуете азарт настоящего игрока. Вашему вниманию будет предложено 700 учебных примеров для самопроверки. Программа задает сложность и число упражнений, указывает на ошибочные решения, дает подсказки, начисляет очки за решенные задания с учетом ошибок, автоматически «следит», чтобы пользователь делал ходы по правилам. При обучении автоматически фиксируются все успехи и промахи, допущенные учеником. После выполнения каждого задания на экран выводится подробная статистика, позволяющая судить о том, к какой теме следует вернуться еще раз и изучению какого материала необходимо уделить дополнительное время. Статистика преподносится в удобном графическом виде по каждому из учеников. В программе используется принцип интерактивности: ученик не является пассивным потребителем информации, от него требуется постоянное активное участие в процессе обучения. Он должен не только думать и запоминать, но и передвигать фигуры, вводить с клавиатуры запись ходов, выбирать из нескольких предложенных вариантов ответа на вопрос правильный и т. д. При решении задач можно получить подсказку или разыграть комбинацию (в этом случае шахматные фигуры как бы "оживают" и начинают сами двигаться по доске). Однако следует учесть, что программа зафиксирует получение помощи и снизит оценку за выполнение упражнения. Если вы все же ошиблись и дали неверный ответ, программа покажет правильное решение. Таким образом действует принцип положительных стимулов и внимание обучающегося не фиксируется на ошибке. Некоторые типы упражнений содержат анимацию, что наверняка придется по вкусу юным шахматистам. Например, если фигуре требуется занять определенную позицию за строго ограниченное количество ходов, то клетки, на которые нельзя становиться, обозначены мухоморами, а та клетка, которой нужно достичь, - клубничкой. Разные виды учебной работы и большое количество анимационных вставок позволяют лучше усвоить достаточно сложный и объемный материал. Программа содержит встроенную систему помощи и подробную документацию. Минимальные системные требования: Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME, Pentium-75 МГц, 20 Mb RAM, 4 Mb свободного места на жестком диске, 4-скоростное устройство для чтения компакт-дисков или DVD-дисков, разрешение экрана 640х480 с глубиной цвета 8 бит, мышь.
