Description

Tigran Petrosian's games are renowned for their brilliance and profound understanding of chess strategy. A selection of his best games, annotated by Petrosian himself, reveals a mastery of defence and sacrifice that belies any perceived flaw in his draw-heavy record. This English translation of the Russian classic is a favourite among many grandmasters. Petrosian's approach to chess is often described as 'pythonic', implying a patient and suffocating style that smothers his opponents. A closer look at his games reveals a deep understanding of the strategic and tactical aspects of the game, making this book an invaluable resource for players seeking to improve their skills. This collection of annotated games offers a unique insight into Petrosian's thought process and approach to chess, providing a wealth of knowledge for players of all levels.
