Tigran Vartanovič Petrosian citáty

Tigran Vartanovič Petrosian bol sovietsky šachista, medzinárodný veľmajster od roku 1952, 9. majster sveta 1963 – 1969.

Pochádzal z chudobnej arménskej rodiny. Detstvo prežil v Tbilisi. Počas 2. svetovej vojny stratil oboch rodičov a živil sa rôznymi zamestnaniami. Krátko po vojne sa odsťahoval do Moskvy, kde žil až do konca života. Povolaním bol novinár.

Šach sa naučil hrať, keď mal 8 rokov. Prezývali ho "železný Tigran", pretože hral výborne v obrane a bolo veľmi ťažké ho poraziť. Jeho prvé úspechy boli: víťazstvá na majstrovstvách Arménska 1945 – 1948 a v dorasteneckých majstrovstvách ZSSR 1946. Wikipedia

“Chess is a game by its form, an art by its content and a science by the difficulty of gaining mastery in it. Chess can convey as much happiness as a good book or work of music can.”

“Some consider that when I play I am excessively cautious, but it seems to me that the question may be a different one. I try to avoid chance. Those who rely on chance should play cards or roulette. Chess is something quite different.”
