Another book: "Defend Like Petrosian: What You Can Learn from Tigran Petrosian's Extraordinary Defensive Skills." Alexey Dezdodov.
Slow reading with ample commentary.

Yea I have that one in the collection - haven't read it yet though. I saw some of its reviews are quite negative, did you like it?

It is my first book of this type that analyzes a World Champ, so it is hard for me to compare. The diagrams are quite small and thus the notation and movement of the pieces are hard to track. Some of the commentary doesn't quite make sense. But seeing how TP structured his openings is being quite helpful. One of the results is improved wins during the past 90 days.
Fair enough - yes I am quite sure any collection of Petrosian's games is going to be a useful tool for improvement, or just appreciation
Is anyone else getting Petrosian books for Christmas? 🙂
Another blog post I made, recommending my current favourite Petrosian book:

Hi all. I just posted a blog about two Petrosian books that are actually the same book. 'Tigran Petrosian Master of Defence' and 'Petrosian's Best Games of Chess'.
