    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.

    Author: Lasker Title: Chess Game Tutorial Published: Moscow, 1937 Binding: Hardback Language: Russian Pages: 242ЕК33 Emanuel Lasker (Emanuel) (1868 -1941) — German chess player and mathematician, representative of the positional school, second world chess champion (1894-1921). Lasker retained the title of world champion for twenty-seven years, which is a record achievement for chess, and continued to perform at the highest level until 68 years. Chess Game Tutorial by Lasker – is a classic of chess literature. Unlike many others, it covers a wide range of chess problems. M. Botvinnik wrote: The preparation Lasker for the competition was assisted by his versatility. He had no "taste", not IML style, he did everything equally strongly, equally well – in defense and in attack, in calm positions and violent complications, in the middlegame and in the endgame. The book is multifaceted and multicast. For fans and young chess players – a textbook for more experienced – a guide to creative and athletic growth. Lasker is not so much taught to play, how to think for themselves, including to question the judgment of even the recognized authorities. The textbook contains initial information about the game, examples illustrating the features of some situations, relevant at the time of writing information on the theory of openings in explanatory examples. The Chapter on combinations contains a collection of excellent examples from all stages of the game: the debut, the middle of the game and the end. The Chapter on positional play captivates with a qualitative overview of the history of chess.  Examples are also relevant and instructive. Lasker was not even a witness, but the Creator of this stage of chess development and we can get information "live" from the source.
