    In his new book, the famous grandmaster, theoretician and coach made an attempt to "embrace the boundless": to highlight and reveal all the most important issues of the chess strategy, which every literate chess player should have an idea of. Carefully selected and deeply analyzed batches and fragments represent a symbiosis of classical, well-known samples and examples from modern practice. All the resulted parties and fragments are divided into three levels of complexity; Each chapter is accompanied by a list of additional materials for self-study. The first volume consists of two parts: "Debut" and "Mittelspiel", in the second volume, two other topics are discussed: "Pawns are the soul of chess" and "Dynamics". The book is addressed, first of all, to first-timers and candidates for master, although more experienced chess players will surely find many useful tips and recommendations for themselves. This work can be used both as a self-instruction manual and as a textbook for specialized chess schools.

    В своей новой книге известные гроссмейстеры, теоретики и тренеры предприняли попытку «объять необъятное»: выделить и раскрыть все наиболее важные вопросы стратегии шахмат, о которых должен иметь представление каждый грамотный шахматист. Тщательно отобранные и глубоко проанализированные партии и фрагменты представляют собой симбиоз классических, хорошо известных образцов и примеров из современной практики. Все приведенные партии и фрагменты разделены на три уровня сложности; каждую главу сопровождает список дополнительных материалов для самостоятельного изучения. Первый том состоит из двух частей: «Дебют» и «Миттельшпиль», во втором томе разбираются две другие темы: «Пешки – душа шахмат» и «Динамика». Книга адресована, в первую очередь, перворазрядникам и кандидатам в мастера, хотя и более опытные шахматисты наверняка найдут для себя немало полезных советов и рекомендаций. Эта работа может быть использована и как самоучитель, и как учебник для специализированных шахматных школ. Искусство оценивать одновременно значение различных позиционных, тактических и смешанных факторов приходит с опытом. Каким бы ни был ученик талантливым, только сыграв тысячи партий и проштудировав множество книг, он станет зрелым шахматистом. Таким игроком можно назвать лишь того, кто впитал в себя шахматную культуру и в состоянии не только нанести “шальной” удар, но и выдать цельную стратегическую партию. Глядя на практически любую позицию, опытный шахматист сразу выделяет важные нюансы – статические и динамические. Какие пешки и поля слабые, положение каких фигур необходимо улучшить, какие в позиции могут быть тактические мотивы и т.д. Надеемся, что наша работа поможет научиться оценивать позицию по множеству подобных признаков – для практических успехов это очень важно.

    Славянская защита - самый популярный закрытый дебют наших дней, входящий в репертуар подавляющего большинства гроссмейстеров высокого класса. Шахматист-практик, играющий 1.d4, сталкивается с этим дебютом практически в каждом турнире, черными же применять его можно вообще чуть ли не в каждой второй партии. В течение многих лет я играл самые разные разветвления этого дебюта за оба цвета, анализировал его как самостоятельно, так и в содружестве со многими известными гроссмейстерами. Сейчас я решил дать возможность всем желающим заглянуть в гроссмейстерскую лабораторию и познакомиться с моим профессиональным отношением к тем или иным дебютным разветвлениям. Вторая часть работы включает в себя все системы, не вошедшие в первую. Это популярный вариант Алапина 3.Kf3 Kf6 4.Kc3 dxc4, а также системы, берущие начало после 4...e6. Не забыты такие возможности как 5.g3 и 5.Фb3, а после 5.e3 Kbd7 разбираются главным образом меранский (6.Сd3 dxc4 7.Сxc4 b5) и антимеранский (6.Фc2 Сd6) варианты. Еще одну солидную часть книги занимает продолжение 5.Bg5, делящееся в свою очередь на несколько крупных самостоятельных разделов. Это московский (5...h6 6.Сxf6) и антимосковский (5...h6 6.Сh4) варианты, а также система Ботвинника 5...dxc4. Возможность объединить такое количество систем в одной книге (ее можно было бы сделать пятитомником) появилась благодаря тому, что я старался дерево устаревших с моей точки зрения линий сократить до умеренного количества, оставляя лишь то, что действительно полезно знать. В дебютных книгах часто приводятся второсортные продолжения, после которых следует большое количество ссылок на сыгранные таким образом партии. В итоге книга раздувается, а суть оказывается размыта. Я в подобных случаях кратко отмечал, почему данная конкретная линия не заслуживает подробного рассмотрения. Такой подход позволил «объять необъятное» не только без потери качества, но наоборот — под рукой всегда именно то, что необходимо, а найти нужную рекомендацию гораздо проще. Текстовые пояснения к вариантам и ключевым позициям даны не везде, а лишь в тех случаях, где мне это показалось важным и где выводы не слишком очевидны. В остальном использовалась общепринятая символьная система оценок. Книга содержит очень большое количество новинок с прилагающимися анализами, проделанными не менее тщательно, чем в первой части.

    The book of Grandmaster Ruslan Shcherbakov is devoted to the voluminous and substantial branching of Slavic defense - one of the most popular modern principles. The Slavic Triangle, named after the opening of black pawns, is characterized by the fact that Black does not want to sit passively on the defensive, and from the first moves risk and provoke whites at risk in order to seize the initiative. This is the debut for those who love a live double-edged game! Possessing a rich experience in the application of the system and having excellent practical results, the author explains in detail strategic ideas and pays much attention to specific nuances. The versatility of the arrangement allows the playing black to largely solve the problem of the debut repertoire against the move of the queen pawn. Without hiding that his sympathies are on the side of Black, the author at the same time preserves objectivity, and those who have to deal with the Slavic Triangle when playing white, can also draw a lot of useful information from the book.
