    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 his book, American international master Kirus Lakdavala examines key options for "Modern Defense", an ambitious, counterattacking system for blacks that can be used against all major initial moves. In this defense, in a typical hyper-modern style, Black gives the center to the whites, and then undermines the pawn-and-figure attack. The author shares his experience and knowledge, presenting the repertoire for Blacks and giving answers to all the key questions. This book: a) guide and & laquo; trainer & raquo; on modern protection; b) gives protection against 1.e4, 1.d4 and 1.c4; c) relies on an ideal method of exploratory chess studying in the question-answer format. The author from the first page to the last puts thoughtful questions on which answers in the commonwealth with the reader. Answering questions, the reader not only "absorbs" & raquo; knowledge, but also becomes an active participant in the learning process, which allows him to judge his own successes. Such an approach is ideal for studying any debut, as the "side-by-side" & raquo; the effect is to increase the overall level of the game and increase knowledge. For a wide range of chess fans.

    How do amateur and top-level chess players build their debut repertoire? Grandmasters choose openings based on practical considerations, taking into account their ability to attack and defend, to play an endgame, to be ready (or unprepared) for a long fight. Lovers most often just imitate their idols and prefer the currently popular top-level systems. A more ridiculous approach is difficult to imagine! Fashionable systems are constantly being improved, they regularly apply complex novelties & mdash; their mechanical repetition will not help to achieve high results. At the same time, there are correct, insidious for the opponent debuts, which in our time for various reasons have receded into the background. It is from such debuts that it is most advantageous to create your repertoire for future champions. This book offers chess players a carefully thought-out and already built up a full debut repertoire that helps them achieve tournament victories, driving their opponents to well-studied positions with thoughtful game plans. For a wide range of chess lovers.
