Colin Purdon has reviewed

The Exchange Sacrifice according to Tigran Petrosian

by Vassilios Kotronias

from Russell Enterprises

https://britishchessnews.com/2022/12/23 ... petrosian/

I had a glance at this title before passing it to Colin and felt it would prove to be really very good indeed.

Does the rear cover *really* consist of blurb about the Grunfeld Defence?

No, it does not and thanks for pointing that out. Corrected and all down to my incompetence as usual. :D

In another place VK wrote about this review:
Thanks for that. For me the greatest reward was that a leading GM from Brazil wrote to me on fb messenger this is one of the best chess books on middlegame he ever read.
VK is a thoroughly nice chap and an excellent writer.
