Description

Python Strategy by Tigran Petrosian is a comprehensive collection of annotated games that showcase the author's mastery of chess strategy. This book is a favourite among grandmasters, who appreciate Petrosian's profound understanding of the game. A translation of a Russian classic, it offers insights into Petrosian's approach to defence, sacrifice, and overall play. Petrosian's games are not characterised by reckless aggression, but rather by a patient and calculated approach that can be just as effective. As one former World Champion noted, Petrosian's style is more akin to a python that smothers its victim, rather than a tiger that pounces on its prey. This annotated collection provides a unique opportunity to study Petrosian's games in depth, and to gain a deeper understanding of his strategic approach.
