    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 vast majority of opening guides are written for adult readers. This book is also devoted to the theory but it is junior. The structure of the book is simple and attractive: openings are examined using examples from actual games, each of which is presented in the form of a lesson with its own name. Several such lessons form an opening theme, and the examination of each theme concludes with exercises. In each opening, attention is drawn to its characteristic tactical and strategic ideas of combinations for independent solution strictly corresponds to the opening theme. Written in clear and easy language, the book is furnished with a large number of diagrams.

    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.

    How do you do your opening training? Do you try in vain to commit to memory sequences of moves as far as move 15 or even 20? Do you work your way through thick tomes in order to laboriously collect the most important information? Or do you simply keep on playing the same opening, just because by chance you learned a little about it years ago and because it is in any case too complicated and time-consuming to learn something new? Or do you simply not bother with opening theory, but continue to be annoyed about being at a disadvantage before you really get into the game proper? Fortunately there is no need for opening training to be like that, because for all those who are looking for a compact and entertaining survey of the openings, there are now the new ChessBase Opening Tutorials.

По умолчанию Программа устанавливается в папку 'C:Program filesШахматные гении'. Однако, прежде чем файлы начали копироваться на жесткий диск, вы можете изменить путь. • В диалоговом окне вы можете выбрать компоненты программы и данных по своему усмотрению. • Для упрощения доступа к программе в ходе установки будут созданы три ярлыка на рабочем столе. В дальнейшем для запуска программы достаточно будет дважды щелкнуть мышью на одном из ярлыков. Если установка пройдет удачно, то будет предложено запустить программу. (*) Я ставил программу эту приятелю на Висту «хитрым» способом, а именно: • жесткий диск разбит у него (условно) на два диска (C и D), Виста стоит на «С» • а я задал путь установки программы : D: Шахматные гении' (т.е. на «D»). • ИГРА УСПЕШНО ПОШЛА, а при установке на диск “C” – Виста её вырубала. Если винчестер не разбит условно на два диска, можно попробовать поставить в корень диска "С", т.е. C: Шахматные гении'. ПОСЛЕДНИЙ И САМЫЙ ГЛАВНЫЙ СОВЕТ Несмотря на то, что таблетка не требуется, СОВЕТУЮ ЗАПИСАТЬ ОБРАЗ НА CD ИЛИ СЭМУЛИРОВАТЬ, т.к. программа эта после нескольких (кажется 30 или более) заходов, требует диск для продолжения работы, И КОГДА ДИСК ЕЙ ДАДИТЕ, она снова будет себя хорошо вести на очередные 30 или более заходов.
