    The authors continue to study typical opening and middlegame positions. Royal Fortress No. 2 has pawns on squares f7, g6, h7 (or f2, g3, h2), and they are usually joined by another defender – bishop on g7 (g2). This formation is called fianchetto, it is found in many popular openings, such as the Catalan Opening, King's Indian Defense, Grunfeld Defense and a number of others.  The authors analyze in detail the techniques of attack, defense and counterattack. Most examples – from the creativity of modern chess players (for example, a separate chapter is dedicated to the strongest Russian grandmaster Ian Nepomniachtchi); they are complemented by parts that have become a classical heritage. The book contains about 300 positions for independent solution, so it is not only a textbook, but also a solid problem book. Grandmaster Konstantin Chernyshov, head of the Interregional Grandmaster School in Kostroma, and his daughter International Master Natalya Kareva – experienced coaches, whose students include grandmasters and masters, champions of Russia and Europe among juniors.  The book is addressed to young chess players and their mentors.

    Quality textbook: position assessment and plan selection. The present book of the army veteran of the candidate chess master O. V. Chebotarev is devoted to various issues of strategy and tactics of the middlegame and endgame. It is based on those issued by the Central Chess Club of the Armed Forces; 1976-1978 three brochures, united under the general title "Chess Strategy Lessons". They were praised by the army chess community. The book is built on the model of traditional classical teaching aids, where the formal moments of evaluating a position and finding a plan are emphasized. In other words, it primarily reveals the static foundations of the position. To a lesser extent, the author reflects elements of internal dynamics, by which I understand not only the calculation of options, but primarily the search for key, turning points in the struggle. Such an understanding of the internal dynamics of chess does not at all dispute the legitimacy of other methodological concepts. including the chosen O. V. Chebotarev.
