    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.

    Таллин, 1950 год. Эстонское государственное издательство. Настоящая книга посвящена матч-турниру 1948 года, давшему первого советского чемпиона мира — Михаила Ботвинника. Основное содержание книги — это детальный анализ пятидесяти партий, сыгранных в этом соревновании. Подробные примечания к партиям написаны для самого широкого круга квалифицированных шахматистов, причем особенное внимание обращено на популярность изложения и на выявление в партиях важнейших переломных моментов. Критика допущенных участниками ошибок может показаться местами слишком суровой, однако она является плодом тщательного анализа и должна принести пользу шахматистам, которые захотят сделать нужные им теоретические и практические выводы из партий матч-турнира. При разборе дебютов особое внимание уделено разъяснению основных идей, характеризующих различные системы дебютного развития, что облегчает понимание и последующей фазы партии — мительшпиля. Равным образом и в мительшпиле автор стремился по возможности избегать сухого перечня вариантов, заменяя их разъяснением характерных идей, таящихся в тех или иных позициях, что, несомненно, облегчает усвоение материала и повышает его поучительность. В эндшпилях, правда немногочисленных, правильный, как мне казалось, план игры обычно разъясняется заранее, — до того, как приводится фактическое продолжение в партии, — чтобы дать читателю возможность сравнить события в партии с другими путями, по которым могла или должна была бы развиваться игра.
