The first of five debut conversations tells about popular combinations and traps at the start of the battle. And in the second conversation, super-fast victories are collected, and all games here belong to world champions! The following three conversations are more solid. The examples of games played at the highest grandmaster level show how to play open, half-open and closed openings, respectively. Further there are four conversations about the middle game. The first two are tactics, the other two are more about the strategy of the game. Here are numerous combinations - from typical, educational to famous, classic. In one of the conversations there was a collection of combinations with the queen sacrifice, made in the games of chess kings! Finally, three more conversations are dedicated to the endgame. The most common endings that are most often encountered in practice are pawns and rooks.
