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.

A fascinating story about one of the most remarkable chess players of the past century. To some extent, the book reflects the 20th century. Here is the end of tsarism, the October Revolution and the formation of the Soviet state, and universal education, and ... the popularity of chess! There is a gallery of figures of art, literature, science, rulers of the state, sports leaders. And most importantly - portraits of ordinary people, who are the very essence of Russian land. One can understand how science, culture (including chess), and the life of the people themselves are adapting to the changing structures of public life, changing ideology; Adapts to, as far as possible, develop successfully. Yes, the conditions in which people operate are changing. They dissolve in history over time, but genuine achievements remain. Chess passed through his whole life; they forced to think, strive for truth - otherwise you won’t win at the chess table - and tempered character. These "chess" qualities were subsequently used both in engineering and in cybernetics. This is a story about how an ordinary boy, who was born back in tsarist Russia, was educated (already in Soviet times), became an engineer, and then a scientist.
