Python Strategy (Chess Classics)

Python Strategy (Chess Classics)
- Author: Tigran Petrosian
- Pages: 392
- Publication Years: 2015
Tigran Petrosian is a titan of chess history. All agree he was a genius of strategy, defense and sacrifice, but didnâ‚¬t he take too many draws? Possibly so, but when Petrosian selected and annotated his best games, that flaw disappeared, leaving only brilliance and profound chess understanding. As Garry Kasparov said: "My games with the 9th World Champion broadened my understanding of chess. Had it not been for these two defeats, I would possibly not have reached the top in chess."

This book is an English translation of a Russian classic that is a favorite of many grandmasters, including Mihail Marin and Levon Aronian. A literal translation of the Russian title might be 'The Strategy of Soundness' but Python Strategy is a better fit for Petrosianâ‚¬s more ambitious games. As another World Champion, Max Euwe, once wrote: "Petrosian is not a tiger that pounces on its prey, but rather a python that smothers its victim."
