    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.

    The youngest first–grader in the USSR, the world champion among young men, a participant in the candidates tournament at the age of 19 - Boris Spassky's rise was rapid. And then fate gave the brilliant chess player a test of strength: he stumbled twice at the decisive moment and remained beyond the threshold of interzonal tournaments ... Only ten years after his first great success, Spassky managed to pass all the qualifying tests and earn the right to a match for the crown, but he failed to defeat the Iron Tigran Petrosian the first time. It took three more years of super–efforts: by Sisyphus he rose again to the foot of Olympus and did not miss a second chance - in 1969 he became the Tenth king of chess! An essay about the life of Boris Vasilyevich and his sporting path full of ups and downs was written by Dmitry Oleynikov, Candidate of Historical Sciences, curator of the Chess Museum of the Chess Federation of Russia. 70 beautiful and instructive games of Spassky were commented on by the champion of Russia in 1993, the famous author and theorist grandmaster Alexey Bezgodov, as well as grandmaster Dmitry Kryakvin and FIDE master Steve Giddins. The preface was written by the 14th world champion Vladimir Kramnik. For a wide range of chess fans.

    Alexander M nninghoff tells the unforgettable tale of the fifth World Chess Champion. Filling a gap in the literature of chess, he shows that Euwes world title was the result of his iron will, his methodical drive and his energetic handling of all aspects of the game. By bringing his world title under the aegis of the world chess federation FIDE, Euwe profoundly changed the history of chess, and it was Euwes diplomatic determination as President of FIDE that saved the Match of the Century in 1972 between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky. This gripping story is illuminated by numerous photos and fifty games with the original annotations by Max Euwe.

В книге приводится свыше 170 прокомментированных партий и окончаний. Второй том книги "Шахматное наследие Алехина" посвящен стратегическому искусству первого русского чемпиона мира, его вкладу в теорию и практику шахматных окончаний. Заключительная глава рассказывает об общности творческих взглядов Алехина и советских шахматистов. В отличие от первого тома, куда вошли биография великого русского шахматиста, образцы его тактического мастерства, второй том посвящен стратегическому искусству чемпиона мира. Основная задача книги - познакомить читателей с мастерством Алехина в позиционной игре, показать, как с помощью глубоких стратегических маневров он готовил базу для последующих комбинаций. В книге рассматривается ряд важных вопросов стратегии, наиболее четко проявившихся в творчестве Алехина. Серьезное внимание во втором томе уделяется вопросам защиты. Алехин трактовал шахматную защиту по-своему, в соответствии со своими взглядами на шахматное творчество вообще. В книге рассматриваются также проблемы маневренной борьбы и лавирования, игра в простых позициях. Значительное место отводится эндшпильной технике Алехина, технике, расцвеченной маленькими комбинациями, соединяющей в себе четкость маневров с широким полетом фантазии.
