Review Quotes

I have known Zaven Andriasyan for many years--as both a
close friend and a trusted colleague. We've shared countless hours working
together, including during the U.S. Championships, where his profound opening
preparation, sharp tactical insight, and exceptional analytical skills proved
invaluable to my performance.

What has always stood out to me
is Zaven's creativity and his genuine passion for teaching. In Andriasyan's Tactical Workout, he blends his
rich practical experience with a gift for clear, structured explanation. The
result is an instructive and engaging collection of tactical exercises designed
to sharpen calculation and enhance practical play.

This book is a true reflection of Zaven's professionalism and deep
understanding of modern chess. I am certain that readers will not only improve
their tactical abilities but also find inspiration in the precision, energy,
and love for chess that define his work.
