The book presented here by G. Kasparian is one of the books that
deserve to be greatly appreciated. Its technical value can be
useful for all studies lovers and especially for practical chess
players, in preparation. Not once it was proved that studies can be
extremely useful for chess players, because they not only develop
their imagination and creativity, but face them with unusual
situations that may appear on the chess board, sometimes seemingly
impossible to be solved. Compared to the first version of this
wonderful work, this edition brings additions that grow, not only
numerically, but especially its quality. As a coach, who commonly
used the first edition of this work, ``555 miniature studies``, I
can appreciate, without the fear to be wrong, that we are dealing
with a complex material, very useful for coaches who want to put
``to work`` their students, in preparing them for high
performance. For these reasons I consider that such a book must
have its place in every coach`s library and, probably, in any chess
lover`s library. Especially I would like to take this opportunity
to thank to the son of the great Genrich Kasparian, Mr. Sergei
Kasparian who, by his kindness, provided us his father`s manuscript
and without whose goodwill is not known when this book might see
the daylight. Sergei Kasparian is also a chess composition lover,
which is why, at the end of this book, I introduced some of his
most interesting studies.
