    The author of the book, international master Maxim Chetverik, addresses an important aspect of chess theory regarding positional play. In the majority of works devoted to positional play, strategic elements are considered separately, while strategic plans (and, especially, confrontation of plans) are disassembled much less often. The works of the classics in this area are not outdated, but a modern view of the problem is useful, taking into account the connection between the middlegame and the actual theory of principles. There are 75 examples in the book, in each of which at least one partner bears the title of grandmaster. All games are played in the 21st century. Initially, strategic plans are considered against the backdrop of enemy defensive actions, then the active opposition of the parties as part of the positional game is studied. .For a wide range of chess lovers.

This is a copy of 267 issued to Khomatov, Tashkent & nbsp; Contains a report of the Congress Committee and all 432 games with Steinitz notes. It was a double round robin tournament of 20 people. One of the longest tournaments in history. In the first half of the tournament, draws counted as half a point. In the second half, they were replayed once. Between 38 regular rounds, 8 rounds of replay and 4 rounds of playoffs for the first at the end there were 50 rounds (!). Like the 4th Congress, this tournament consisted mainly of foreign masters. Captain Mackenzie’s resignation seems to date back to this time (although some sources consider him the US champion until his death in 1891), giving the top American finisher some claims to be the de facto US champion. The best American finisher was Solomon Lipschutz, who took 6th place with a score of + 22-9 = 7. The book is accompanied by an article by the Soviet master Aginsky, the former owner of this book.

    A new book by a respected grandmaster and trainer is devoted to the most pressing issue: how to make working with a computer as efficient as possible? Using the example of numerous detailed commented games of the super tournaments of recent years, the author explains what kind of opening philosophy a particular representative of the world chess elite professes, and how he builds his opening repertoire. Despite the intrusion of computers, the middlegame to a much greater degree retained its individual coloring. Therefore, it is interesting to trace how the strongest chess players of our time approach the solution of non-standard problems that arise during the game. Even the best players make sometimes incomprehensible mistakes that make it difficult to find a logical explanation. In the final part of the book, the author attempts to understand the nature of some errors. For a wide range of chess lovers.
