    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.

    In this book, the authors confined themselves to the study of the most typical and most often encountered in practice rook endings. In this paper, the authors used an interesting way. Elementary positions are first examined, and the technique for achieving a win or draw is based on natural logical moves. Tactical subtleties are shown only where they are really needed. The transition to rook ends with two or more pawns was carried out in the order of a sequential increase in the material, and the authors sought to show the relationship with simpler endings. A whole series of such endings was investigated for the first time. In the last chapter, the authors, on the basis of the material worked out, summarized the main ideas that should be used when drawing rook endings. These ideas serve as guiding lighthouses in a maneuverable struggle and should facilitate the reader's choice in the right way. The book is a bibliographic rarity. It is designed for a qualified chess player.
