394 examples from practical games played in 2021 have been selected. Most of the exam-ples are from grandmaster practice, which gives special weight to each example.
Examples are determined by heaviness with the number of stars (from 1 to 5).
Do not be surprised and depressed if some examples with less stars are more difficult for you. Finishes are a part of the game where you constantly learn and revise your knowledge.
