    The Princess and Monster game, presented by \textit{R. Isaacs} [Differential games. New York etc.: Wiley (1965; Zbl 0125.38001)], is a two-person zero-sum game in which a searcher and a hider move along a continuous trajectory in a search set. It is assumed that the searcher and the hider cannot see one another until their distance is less than or equal to the discovery radius and at that very moment capture occurs. The reviewed paper extends the technique, developed by the reviewer for solving the game, to the case in which the probability of detection depends on the distance between the players.
