About:
Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian (June 17, 1929 – August 13, 1984) is a former World Chess Champion. His nickname was "Iron Tigran", because of his impenetrable defense, which guaranteed safety above all else (Vasiliev 1974:27) and (Kasparov 2004:7, 16, 62, 80)............Tigran Petrosian was the only player to win a game against Bobby Fischer during the latter's 1971 Candidates matches, finally bringing an end to Fischer's amazing streak of twenty consecutive wins (seven to finish the 1970 Palma de Mallorca Interzonal, six against Taimanov, six against Larsen, and the first game in their match)
