    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.

    Alexander Panchenko himself says the following about this book: "The middlegame is the most difficult part of the game, so it is naturally impossible to understand it within the limits of one book. I decided to limit myself to 10 lectures. The topics discussed will help readers to better understand the problems of the middle game. Listening to the comments (mainly from coaches working with children) about my first book "Theory and Practice of Chess Endings", the author after each lecture now offers not only positions for solving (competitions), but also positions for playing. This will help to better assimilate the material."

    Condition: Very good Small scratches on the binding This book is the most complete collection of Emanuel Lasker's chess works in the world today. In addition to the frequently published CHESS TEXTBOOK and the rarer but well-known work COMMON SENSE IN CHESS, it includes rudiments of chess knowledge and lessons for beginners - works that are completely inaccessible today. Lasker's influence on the chess world was enormous, his athletic superiority over his opponents was so incredible that his contemporaries could not find a reasonable explanation for it. Some attributed his success to luck, others even suspected hypnosis! Only today have many of the methods that Lasker used in his chess practice become clear, although he, as a true scientist, directly set out his views in printed works. Lasker's books are essential for anyone who wants to understand chess and achieve success in it. Special hard "puffy" binding.

    The author of the book, Gareth Williams, examines the history of chess pieces, starting with the ancient cultures that existed in Asia and ending with modern chess that participate in competitions today. Most of the chess presented in the pages of this book dates back to the mid-18th century. Some of them come from ivory carving centers known at the time, such as Berkhampur in eastern India, Guangzhou in China, Dieppe in France or Kholmogory in Russia. These countries have developed their own schools, each with its own special plots, decorative motifs and methods of processing the material, which are usually passed down from generation to generation. The book will also introduce you to serious historical facts, interesting characters and fascinating details about the matches in which they participated.

    In this book, grandmaster Denis Yevseyev proposes a new way of fighting the French defense: 3. Kd2, followed by placing the pieces according to the Kgf3, Cd3, c3, 0-0 scheme for ANY order of black moves, which sooner or later leads to exchanges in the center and the formation of white isolated pawns. Therefore, the third part of the book is entirely devoted to the study of middle spiel positions with an “insulator” arising on the considered branches of the French defense. Almost the only way to deviate from the game with an “isolator” is the Rubinstein variant (3 ... dхe4), which is thoroughly analyzed in the first part of the book /
