    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.

    Центральным событием шахматной жизни всегда было сражение за мировую шахматную корону. Кто решал судьбу шахматной короны? Кто принимал участие в чемпионатах мира? Как развивалась борьба? Кто в конце концов становился обладателем почетного приза? Ответы на эти вопросы дает книга председателя Комитета Международной шахматной федерации (ФИДЕ) «Шахматы — искусство», заслуженного тренера СССР, международного гроссмейстера Э. Гуфельда и члена Союза журналистов Украины, мастера спорта Украины Е. Лазарева. Читатели ознакомятся с самыми яркими партиями соревнований, многие из которых комментировали чемпионы мира, известные гроссмейстеры. Как быстро летит время! Кажется, что совсем недавно состоялся первый матч за шахматную корону — а ведь с тех пор пролетело уже более ста лет... Если бы шахматная корона могла говорить... Это была бы драматическая повесть о человеческих судьбах, о взлетах и падениях, о надеждах и крушениях, о неожиданных потерях и удивительных находках. Перелистаем страницы летописей короны. Ее судьба решалась десятки раз. Каждому из таких событий посвящен отдельный очерк. Рассмотрим по одной партии из каждого чемпионата мира, в котором разыгрывался титул чемпиона по шахматам. Подберем эти партии так, чтобы вспомнить комментарии к ним самих участников или авторитетных гроссмейстеров, в том числе чемпионов мира и претендентов. С поединками последнего десятилетия ознакомимся более подробно. Вниманию читателей предложены многие партии этих соревнований. Для широкого круга читателей.

    The 1962 Candidates’ Tournament in Curaзao was one of the fiercest chess battles of all time. At the height of the Cold War, eight players contested the right to challenge World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik. The format of the tournament was a gruelling quadruple round-robin. Twenty-eight games were to be played on the tropical island, in a contest that lasted two months. The air trembled with drama and intrigue. One of the favourites, the brilliant Mikhail Tal,was taken to hospital after 21 rounds and had to withdraw. Three other players from the Soviet Union, Keres, Petrosian, and Geller, were making suspiciously short draws when playing each other. The two American players came to blows over the services of the second they were supposed to share. Bella Kortchnoi, whose husband took an early lead in the tournament, was a puppet in the hands of the scheming Rona Petrosian, the wife of the later winner. And one of the favourites was a lanky 19-year-old boy from Brooklyn, Bobby Fischer, who openly accused the Soviets of collusion and was later proven right. In the end, Tigran Petrosian was the winner and went on to become the new World Champion the following year. But such was the impact of Fischer’s accusations that this was the last time such a battle was organised. Henceforth the challenger to the highest crown was determined in a series of matches. Curaзao 1962 was the last Candidates’ Tournament. In Curaзao 1962, Jan Timman returns to this clash of giants and takes a fresh look at the games. Timman describes the course of the tournament and annotates the most important games (including 16 of Fischer’s!) in his usual lucid and instructive style. Curaзao 1962 revives a tradition of great tournament books, such as Alekhine’s New York 1927 and Bronstein’s Zurich 1953.
