    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 modern protection of Philidor is a very strong, strategically rich debut with a wide variety of pawn structures, which can become your primary weapon in response to 1.e4. As a rule, White studies this protection in the last place, because they have enough urgent problems in other open and half-open principles, and meanwhile, the game of "general considerations" is contraindicated here. How many times has it been that the whites, lulled by the "timid" appearance of the rival, unwittingly relaxed, began to act superficially and reminisced only when their party was already inevitably rolling under the slope! It is no accident that the protection of Filidor included in its repertoire dozens of leading contemporary grandmasters, including representatives of the elite. The new work of the well-known journalist, international master Vladimir Barsky is both a textbook and a reference: to quickly include the new scheme in the repertoire, it is enough to study the Brief Overview and sample games, and the section "Step by Step" will help to penetrate deeper into the secrets of the debut.
