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.

When purchasing Royal Lux chess, one should not forget that this board game, from its very appearance in Europe in the middle of the 18th century, was almost immediately classified as "royal". The joy of the noble nobility very soon became popular among senior statesmen, in particular among kings, who, playing chess, emphasized their status as supreme ruler, commander-in-chief, tactician and strategist. Despite the fact that under the influence of the Catholic and Christian churches, some kings officially banned this board game (for example, Louis the "Saint" King of France, Casimir II of Poland, Edward the Fourth of England), it remained in a kind of "underground" and did not lose popularity. According to historical chronicles, even during the prohibition, kings played chess, using this board game to resolve political or military disputes. The decision to buy Royal Lux chess will be at the same time a decision to join the royal joy, because the word "royal" translates as royal, majestic, luxurious. The latter words are fully consistent with the proposed version of the board game, the elaborately carved figures of which can become a worthy decoration of the royal interior.
