    Авторы продолжают изучение типовых позиций дебюта и миттельшпиля. У Королевской крепости № 2 пешки находятся на полях f7, g6, h7 (или f2, g3, h2), и к ним обычно присоединяется еще один защитник – слон на g7 (g2). Такое построение называется фианкетто, оно встречается во многих популярных дебютах, таких как Каталонское начало, Староиндийская защита, защита Грюнфельда и ряде других.  Авторы подробно разбирают приемы атаки, защиты и контратаки. Большинство примеров – из творчества современных шахматистов (так, отдельная глава посвящена сильнейшему российскому гроссмейстеру Яну Непомнящему); их дополняют партии, ставшие классическим наследием. В книге около 300 позиций для самостоятельного решения, так что это не только учебник, но и солидный задачник. Гроссмейстер Константин Чернышов, руководитель Межрегиональной гроссмейстерской школы в Костроме, и его дочь международный мастер Наталья Карева – опытные тренеры, среди воспитанников которых есть гроссмейстеры и мастера, чемпионы России и Европы среди юниоров.  Книга адресована юным шахматистам и их наставникам.

    Книга гроссмейстера и опытного тренера Александра Галкина посвящена сильнейшей фигуре на шахматной доске – ферзю. На примере эпизодов из партий современных гроссмейстеров (подавляющее большинство партий относится к 2020-2023 годам) и своей гроссмейстерской практики автор пытается обобщить, а где-то даже и уточнить методологию понимания и разыгрывания ферзевых окончаний, а также иных типов эндшпилей с наличием ферзей (ферзя) на доске. В книге представлены различные соотношения материала – «ферзь против ферзя», «ферзь и легкая фигура против ферзя и легкой фигуры», «ферзь и ладья против ферзя и ладьи», «ферзь против двух ладей», «ферзь против ладьи и пешек», «ферзь против ладьи и легкой фигуры», «два ферзя против двух ферзей» – практически весь спектр встречаемых эндшпилей этого типа. Материал структурирован таким образом, чтобы читатель мог получить максимальную пользу от изучения предлагаемых автором примеров ферзевых окончаний и его прочих производных. Книга ориентирована на шахматистов разрядников, полезна для тренеров и может быть рекомендована широкому кругу любителей шахмат.

    Международный мастер Тибор Каройи и мастер ФИДЕ Тигран Гёзалян подготовили капитальный труд (в двух томах) о жизни и творчестве 9-го чемпиона мира по шахматам Тиграна Петросяна (он владел титулом с 1963 по 1969 год).  В томе II (1963-1984) рассказывается о победе Петросяна в матче 1963 года за звание чемпиона мира над Михаилом Ботвинником, о грандиозном двухматчевом противостоянии с Борисом Спасским в 1966 и 1969 годах, обо всех его претендентских матчах уже после утраты титула – против Бобби Фишера, Виктора Корчного и других соперников мирового уровня. Представлены все турниры и матчи второй половины шахматной карьеры Петросяна, вплоть до последних выступлений 1983 года. Авторы подвергли глубокому (с привлечением современных компьютеров) анализу 175 полных партий и фрагментов. Далеко не все из них глубоко изучались и комментировались ранее, но и тогда в книге даётся существенно улучшенный анализ. Среди противников Петросяна – чемпионы мира и претенденты Каспаров, Карпов, Фишер, Спасский, Таль, Смыслов, Ботвинник, Корчной и Бронштейн, а также Тимман, Ларсен, Решевский, Белявский, Полугаевский, Портиш, Романишин и многие другие. Отдельное внимание уделено его тренерам – Алексею Суэтину и Игорю Зайцеву.

How often we had to read and hear these words, which from frequent use were lost, began to seem an empty banality. Meanwhile, Mikhail Ivanovich Chigorin (1850-1908) was really the brightest creative personality. A gambling, fascinating person, he spared no effort and time to find the truth of chess, to solve the mysteries of an intricate opening or seemingly simple endgame position. In those early years, universality had not yet become a "vital necessity" in chess, and therefore every major master had a clearly defined individual style, with its own advantages and disadvantages. The Russian champion believed in the dynamic potential of figures, aspired to an open figure game, and willingly sacrificed material for initiative. His powerful opponent, Wilhelm Steinitz, put unshakable positional values above all else: the reliability of the pawn structure, the predominance in the center, the preponderance in space. Chigorin and Steinitz played two matches for the world championship, a lot of tournament and light games, but their fundamental dispute was not only at the chessboard. Polemically sharp, uncompromising discussions of these titans and their followers graced the pages of Newspapers and magazines of those years.Chigorin passionately loved chess, and he was depressed by the lack of public interest in this wise game in our country. He wanted to prove that chess is not an empty sport; it can become a life's work, a real profession. To show chess in the most favorable light and attract the attention of an enlightened public, Chigorin for ten years published, mostly at his own expense, the magazines "Chess leaf" (1876-81) and "Chess Bulletin" (1885-87). He was the main and sometimes the only author there. Needless to say, these most striking examples of Russian chess thought have long since become a bibliographic rarity.The modern reader is spoiled by an abundance of chess literature. However, without the historical aura that envelops the creative essence of the chess player, our inner world would be much poorer.
