448 pages, hardback, Pergamon, 1991
Discontinued
This is the second of two volumes devoted to the chess career of former world champion Petrosian, whose masterly positional play and near invincibility earned him the name of "Iron Tigran".
Equally an excellent tactician, Tigran Petrosian habitually sacrificed material - particularly rook for minor piece - in the execution of his deeply thought out plans which often reduced an opponent to a state of complete helplessness.
Of over 1000 games featured in this book, the most valuable are those which appear with annotations by Petrosian himself. From a study of these instructive comments, in which the Grandmaster reveals the very essence of a given position an explains an appropriate course of action, the reader will gain a better understanding of the subtleties of strategic play - the most difficult part of the game of chess.
