    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.

    Signed by the author. Iser Iosifovich Kuperman (April 21, 1922, Khabno ― March 6, 2006, Boston) ― Soviet and American draughts player (Russian and international draughts), international grandmaster (1958), draughts theorist. One of the largest draughts players of the XX century. Multiple USSR champion in Russian and international draughts, European champion in international draughts, seven-time world champion in international draughts. Honored Master of Sports of the USSR (1960); deprived of the title in 1978 during emigration to Israel. In 1940 he received the title of Master of Sports. He made his debut at the USSR championships in Russian draughts in 1945 and immediately won a landslide victory, and in subsequent years defended his title several times. After the introduction of competitions in international, stocklet draughts in the USSR, Kuperman undertook a thorough study of the literature devoted to them, and at the first USSR championship on the big board in 1954 he took first place. In 1958, having won the candidates tournament, Kuperman got the right to a match for the world championship with the reigning Canadian champion Marcel Deslauriers, and beat him, winning four victories with two defeats and 14 draws, thus becoming the first Soviet world champion in this discipline. By the end of the year, Kuperman was already an international grandmaster. Cooperman became the world champion, winning matches in 1959, 1961, 1965 and 1967. Two more times the title was awarded to him without a game: in 1963 and 1974, the World Championship matches did not take place (later the International Draughts Federation declared Senegalese Baba Si the world champion for 1963, while Kuperman was not deprived of the title). In 1978, Kuperman emigrated to Israel, and then to the United States, where he successfully competed in tournaments until old age. He won the American Pool Checkers Association Championship seven times (1984-1990), thus becoming the most titled master of this game, and the US International Draughts Championship eight times.
