    Petrosyan. Year after year. Volume 2 (1963-1984)
    Author:
    Gezalyan

    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. Special attention is paid to his coaches – Alexey Suetin and Igor Zaitsev.

    «The idea of continuing the autobiographical book “Steps” has been in the air almost since the moment it was written. Despite the bullet point at the end of the book in the form of a victory over Magnus Carlsen, my chess career continued for another full 14 years, and the subsequent stormy socio-political career is only gaining momentum.” (V. Bologan).  The book contains 75 games commented in detail and a number of fragments. A frank story about the life and professional path, about cooperation with the leading grandmasters and coaches of the world (among them - A. Karpov, G. Kasparov, Yu. Polgar, Zhu Chen, R. Ponomarev, A. Shirov, A. Morozevich, A. Onischuk, A. Ryazantsev, E. Inarkiev, M. Al-Mudakhka, M. Dvoretsky, M. Podgaets, V. Chebanenko, Z. Lanka and others), about political activities in the Parliament of Moldova and about work in FIDE are complemented by numerous photographs.   For a wide range of chess lovers.

    Royal Fortress No. 2 - fianchetto
    Author:
    Chernyshov

    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 book contains about 300 positions for independent solution, so it is not only a textbook, but also a solid problem book. Grandmaster Konstantin Chernyshov, head of the Interregional Grandmaster School in Kostroma, and his daughter International Master Natalya Kareva – experienced coaches, whose students include grandmasters and masters, champions of Russia and Europe among juniors.  The book is addressed to young chess players and their mentors.

Широкий ассортимент позволяет воплотить в жизнь любые дизайнерские фантазии. Наиболее частое применение - в индустрии украшений и акксессуаров, в производстве одежды, дизайне интерьеров. Кристаллы, известные также как стразы (камни) Swarovski, используются для украшения арткостюмов, танцевальных платьев, театральных костюмов, в свадебной и вечерней моде. Разнообразие цветов, форм и размеров позволяет нанести на ткань любой рисунок или орнамент, придаст повседневной одежде особый шарм, подчеркнув Вашу индивидуальность. Swarovski - компания с более чем 100-летней историей, одна из немногих, кто завоевал доверие и признание по всему миру. Даниэль Сваровски, скрипач чешской Богемии, основывая в 1895 году ныне знаменитую компанию, краеугольным камнем заложил идеологию "постоянное стремление к совершенству", отношение к хрусталю как к символу потребности природы в защите со стороны человека. Кристаллы Сваровски - не просто имитация драгоценностей. Изделия Сваровски - это поистине произведения искусства. Секреты варки хрусталя Swarovski - строжайшая тайна, до сих пор никому не удалось приблизиться к этим формулам, равно как к технологическим секретам обработки кристаллов хрусталя Swarovski. Эти кристаллы блистают сотнями тысяч различных оттенков! Первый магазин Сваровски появился в 1895 году, а уже через несколько лет хрустальные бриллианты заказывали модницы Санкт-Петербурга, Парижа.. Пять поколений семьи компании следуют принципам основателя, сейчас магазины Swarovski существуют в 150 странах мира, продавая за год 20 млрд камней, украшений, кристаллов и картин. А международный символ компании - лебедь - воплощение чистоты, элегантности и гармонии, олицетворяет собой эти знаменитые изделия. ФОТО ФОТО ФОТО ФОТО ФОТО
