    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 1929, the publication of an eight-volume collection of works was started, which, apparently due to the persecution of Pilnyak in September of the same year, was suspended for the sixth volume, and subsequently, with the same, but supplemented Preface and the same composition, was reissued and completed. Therefore, it would be more accurate to talk about the existence of one eight-volume collection of works, which was published in 1929-1930. Repressed. Pilnyak's works were not reprinted until 1976. Presented here is the only collection of Pilnyak's works of the author's era.
