    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.

    Dear reader! In your hands is a collection of the most expensive and memorable works of the author & ndash; both written long ago, and lying in the archive for several decades, and born in recent years. My attempts at writing in a variety of literary genres, including poetry, have always amazed and delighted dad & ndash; chess historian Isaac Linder. Strict adherent of chess `` classicism '' and historical realism boldly co-authored a freethinker and, as critics from his beloved 19th century would say, a scribbler. And I must say, 'docking' was successful. I began to write history stories, not without pleasure, and he began to indulge in elegant artistic digressions. For more than a quarter of a century we have perfectly understood and complemented each other & hellip; This book is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the passionate propagandist of chess culture, chess encyclopedist, writer and sage Isaac Maksovich Linder, she & ndash; gratitude and bow to his blessed memory. Among her heroes & ndash; people who, by the will of fate, have linked their lives with Chess. Photos of Boris Dolmatovsky, Alexander Kantorovich, Nikolai Zhuravka, from the archives of the State Public Library for Science and Technology, Irina Alatortseva, Lyudmila Belavenets, Sergey Voronkov, Andrey Elkov, Isaac and Vladimir Linderov.
