    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 youngest first–grader in the USSR, the world champion among young men, a participant in the candidates tournament at the age of 19 - Boris Spassky's rise was rapid. And then fate gave the brilliant chess player a test of strength: he stumbled twice at the decisive moment and remained beyond the threshold of interzonal tournaments ... Only ten years after his first great success, Spassky managed to pass all the qualifying tests and earn the right to a match for the crown, but he failed to defeat the Iron Tigran Petrosian the first time. It took three more years of super–efforts: by Sisyphus he rose again to the foot of Olympus and did not miss a second chance - in 1969 he became the Tenth king of chess! An essay about the life of Boris Vasilyevich and his sporting path full of ups and downs was written by Dmitry Oleynikov, Candidate of Historical Sciences, curator of the Chess Museum of the Chess Federation of Russia. 70 beautiful and instructive games of Spassky were commented on by the champion of Russia in 1993, the famous author and theorist grandmaster Alexey Bezgodov, as well as grandmaster Dmitry Kryakvin and FIDE master Steve Giddins. The preface was written by the 14th world champion Vladimir Kramnik. For a wide range of chess fans.

    In the vast ocean of chess literature there are relatively few books about the endgame, and only a few of them can be considered true chess classics. And the most outstanding among the classics — Reuben Fine's book "Basic Chess Endings". Reuben Fine (1914−1993) was for a long time one of the best chess players in the world. As an author, Fine showed himself to be an excellent analyst who understood the full depth and peculiarities of the endgame. Having studied various types of standard positions, Fine established useful rules for practical play and proved himself to be an experienced teacher who, using skillfully chosen examples, was able to teach the reader all the necessary lessons and introduce him to the basic ideas of the endgame. Many generations of chess players in different countries of the world keep copies of “Basic Chess Endings”. For example, Mikhail Botvinnik considered Fine's work the most worthy of all that had ever been written on endgame theory.

    Author: Maksim BlokhTitle: 600 Chess CombinationsPublished: Russian Chess House Publishing House, Moscow 2019Binding: PaperbackLanguage: English, Russian, German (The foreword and the index only in English and Russian)Pages: 96This book of chess exercises has been written by an experienced coach, Maksim Blokh, an International Correspondence Grandmaster. It contains more than 600 exercises, classified by combinative motifs. This carefully planned approach aids the  development of combinative vision and enables the book to be used as a chess manual. The exercises are distinguished by a tense fight, and usually there is only one way to the goal.The book is intended for ordinary schools and colleges, as well for specialist chess courses, and it can also be used as a self-tutor. In both cases a certain basic chess knowledge is assumed.Dieses Schach-Übungsbuch wurde vom ICCF-Großmeister Maksim Bloch geschrieben. Es enthält mehr als 600 Übungen, die nach verschiedenen kombina-torischen Motiven geordnet sind. Dieser kluge Ansatz erleichtert den Prozess der Entwicklung des kombinatorischen Sehens, das Buch kann vom Leser sehr gut als Handbuch verwendet werden.Die Übungen sind durch spannende Lösungen charakterisiert, und normalerweise gibt es nur einen Weg, der zum Ziel führt. Das Buch ist für spezielle Schach-gruppen in Mittel- und Hochschulen geeignet und kann auch zum Selbststudium verwendet werden. In beiden Fällen ist ein bestimmtes schachliches Anfangs-wissen notwendig.                                                                                                                                         FOREWORDDear chess friends! One of the most important components of chess mastery is the ability to conduct a tactical fight. Therefore it is essential to study the theory of chess tactics, to develop your combinative vision, and to improve the technique of calculating variations. In this book the author continues his researches in this field, which were initiated in his previous books (1200 Combinations; The Art of Combination; and Chess Manual). This book is devoted to a classification of combinative motifs (weaknesses in the position, and also features of the placement and coordination of the pieces) which suggest the possibility of finding and carrying out a combination. Such a classification enables the book to be used not only as a set of exercises, but also as a manual. The detailed table of enables trainers to select examples for instruction, while for less experienced players it can serve as a subtle hint in case of difficulties. For successful work with the book, a certain level of knowledge of basic tactical methods is required. Therefore I strongly recommend, particularly younger readers, to first study the chapter ‘Basics of Chess Tactics’ in my Chess Manual. Most of the 384 positions offered here are so sharp, that only a single solution for White exists when it is him to move, while Black, when it is him to move, can also achieve success in a single possible way! (Incidentally, in some positions the second player carries out a combinative motif relating to another section of the book). Hence the total number of combinations exceeds 600. The author has endeavoured to gather positions that are characterised by a unique solution (therefore some positions from practical games have been slightly modified), creative richness, and instructive value. Positions that are given without mentioning their source have been composed by the author and used by him in his classes for young players. The numeric value in circles (at the top right of every diagram) indicates its level of complexity. The author recommends first trying to find a solution, making written notes, but without moving the pieces on the board. Those examples that could not be solved at the first attempt should be thoroughly studied later, after the first reading of the book is completed. I hope that you will enjoy the book and substantially improve your play through studying it. Later you may wish to study my more detailed book Combinative Motifs, on the same topic, which contains 1206 diagrams with exercises. Maksim BIokh
