In this last volume of the works, key issues of high strategy are examined in detail, namely : the meeting ground of the various factors which are decisive in a game of chess. Roberto Grau analyses the basic principles that are necessary to consider in order to understand the different positions and to build plans, aspects such as fighting between the knight and the bishop, or the secrets of simplification. He also covers very neatly those terminal positions which are very common in practice, mainly those involving rooks. He summarises the ins and outs of superior strategy by means of numerous examples and demonstrates, through rigorous analysis, the truthfulness of its postulates.
