    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.

    This collection of wonderful combinations is based on the famous magazine “Chess” published in the USSR. The editorial office was located in Riga, its members included strong Latvian chess players, and the editor-in-chief of the publication for many years was the eighth world champion Mikhail Tal, who always took an active part in the development of the magazine. Perhaps the most popular section among readers has always been “Find the best continuation without moving the pieces.” A fresh dozen of the most beautiful and instructive combinations, mainly from current tournaments, were published on the back cover, and the solutions were given in the next issue. The combinations were selected by the editorial team very carefully, because the magazine's circulation was more than 60,000 copies and was distributed in more than 50 countries! This edition includes combinations published in the mentioned section from 1980 to 1990. By solving these combinations, you are sure to improve your tactical skills and significantly strengthen your game.

    This tiny book is about struggle, a subject not readily discussed in the present-day European political correctness milieu. The author is one of the first great chess masters who know very well that the higher is a chess-player's skill the greater is his freedom. Lasker's comments on strategy and tactics, on principles of saving forces, on the logic of struggle for survival and the principle of justice are certainly interesting. Logics have been excluded from the school curriculum and an acquaintance with Lasker's book yet again suggests that this is probably a serious omission.  ISBN: 9785973900915 Author (s): Lasker Series: Ideology Publisher: Europe Language: Russian Format: 11.5x15x0.7cm Pages: 132 p.

    A complete course under the general editorship of multiple world champion Anatoly Karpov. These books are equally an excellent textbook for independent work, and a valuable methodological guide for chess coaches and teachers.

V.Golenishchev's programs (IV-III categories, II category, I category and master candidate) still retain great methodological value and are successfully used in chess pedagogy. It is noteworthy that this technique is extremely popular not only among our trainers, but also among foreign specialists. This edition of this classic book is supplemented with examples from the work of the best chess players of recent years and reflects modern views on chess.
