    In the vast ocean of chess literature there are relatively few books about the endgame, and only a few of them can be considered true chess classics. And the most outstanding among the classics — Reuben Fine's book "Basic Chess Endings". Reuben Fine (1914−1993) was for a long time one of the best chess players in the world. As an author, Fine showed himself to be an excellent analyst who understood the full depth and peculiarities of the endgame. Having studied various types of standard positions, Fine established useful rules for practical play and proved himself to be an experienced teacher who, using skillfully chosen examples, was able to teach the reader all the necessary lessons and introduce him to the basic ideas of the endgame. Many generations of chess players in different countries of the world keep copies of “Basic Chess Endings”. For example, Mikhail Botvinnik considered Fine's work the most worthy of all that had ever been written on endgame theory.

      Amerigo Vespucci is the same person who gave his name to America in 1507. Whether he deserved to have an entire continent named after him, or not, the debate continues to this day. In this first critical biography of Vespucci, we follow him from Lorenzo de' Medici's Florence to Ferdinand and Isabella's Seville, across Columbus' Atlantic to our hero's meeting with the New World on the other side of the ocean. The image of Vespucci is unsteady - it remains as elusive as in the Florentine half-light of his youth - but we get to know him so close for the first time. No matter how little we know about what happened to Vespucci and about his own actions, after reading this book the reader will better understand both the famous Florentine and the era of great geographical discoveries.

It is believed that these figures are equal in strength, but their characters are very different! If we draw an analogy with hockey, then elephants – These are fast and straightforward players with a powerful shot who love free space. Horses – nimble, technical and cunning forwards, capable of playing in the backfield. beat and confuse your opponent. The purpose of this book – help you improve your understanding of chess, develop a “sixth sense” for a correct and quick assessment of the position with different balances of forces: bishop against knight “one on one”, and with rooks, and with queens, and with all heavy pieces. Typical pawn structures are also considered, since in many openings the struggle between these diverse pieces begins from the very first moves. Author – an experienced coach who has trained more than one generation of chess players does not overload the reader with computer options, but tries to explain in detail and clearly the essence of what is happening on the board.  “When you read this book, absorb many useful recommendations of great chess players, which the author carefully presented to your attention, then your hand will begin to make much stronger moves without the help of your head.” (M. Shereshevsky). For advanced chess players and coaches.
