    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.

    The circulation is limited to 500 copies. Genuine leather binding with gilded letters on the spine. 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.
