    The new book of the famous theorist Yevgeny Sveshnikov is devoted to the course of 2.f4 in the Sicilian defense. According to the grandmaster, who has been studying this system for about 40 years and applied more than 100 times, she repeatedly rescued him in important fights with strong rivals when he needed only victory. The progress of 2.f4 is not very popular now, and therefore - there is a wide scope for the debut creativity. Meanwhile, this plan creates serious problems for Black; They must act fairly energetically and accurately in order not to fall into the worst position. The author relies mainly on his parties, because he willingly played this system for both colors. A number of important fights for the first time are published for the first time: at one time Yevgeny Sveshnikov did not allow them to get into public computer bases. Most of the detailed commentaries are given in their entirety to show the inextricable link between the opening and the middlegame and even the endgame.

    A new book by the international grandmaster, the well-known analyst and trainer Alexei Bezgodov, is devoted to the acute system 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.f3 !? In most caro-cannian systems, Black does not have problems with the development of the white-field elephant, but here they find themselves in an unusual situation - the elephant c8 is difficult to enter into the game. Black is deprived of the concept: since there is nowhere to put an elephant, one has to walk around with something else, and often begin to play unreasonably sharply. On the other hand, if they delay with the creation of counterplay, then the subordinate press is at risk. The degree of analytical exhaustion of "extreme Karo-Kann" (the title is given by the author of the monograph) is negligible in comparison with other game systems for whites, independent play often begins with the first moves. The author gives a large number of original analyzes and amplifications for both sides.
