    Книга по стратегии и тактике шахмат при тесной связи всех трех стадий - дебюта, миттельшпиля и эндшпиля на основе 124 партий, из них 122 разыграны староиндийской защитой, распределенных по 8 темам - мобилизация сил, борьба за пространство, атака и защита короля, открытые линии, проходные пешки, пешечные слабости, разрушение пешечной цепи, хорошие и плохие фигуры. Внутри каждой главы каждая партия (или их группа) иллюстрирует определенную частную позиционную идею. Второй том "Шахматного учебника" дополняет и углубляет материал первой книги, впервые изданной в 1996 году, по стратегии и тактике шахмат в более тесной связи с начальной стадией партии, поскольку содержит свыше ста партий, разыгранных одним дебютом. Был выбран дебют, отличающийся многообразием стратегических и тактических идей, - староиндийская, который является для юных шахматистов прекрасной школой прежде всего сложного, насыщенного комбинационными возможностями миттельшпиля. Автор сделал упор не на заучивание вариантов, а на понимание позиционных идей дебюта и вытекающих из него миттельшпилей и эндшпилей. Автор считает, что книга будет полезна не только "староиндийцам" и тем, кто вступит в их ряды, но и юным шахматистам, применяющим другие дебюты, поскольку посвящена общим позиционным законам шахмат. Книга содержит 60 замечательных этюдов для самостоятельного решения. В основном, эти позиции соответствуют темам плохие и хорошие фигуры, координация сил, проходные пешки, но реально они охватывают значительно большее количество позиционных идей и представляют собой прекрасное собрание стратегических и тактических приемов. Книга предназначена для разрядников и всех любителей шахмат.
