    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.

    Решебник. Шахматные комбинации. 1-2 разряд, 1700-2000 Elo. 3-я книжка серии «Решебники для разрядников» обогатит вас более изысканным тактическим оружием. Не всегда до короля можно добраться, используя грубую силу. Попробуйте действовать хитростью! Маскируйте свои действия, как разведчик, и ведите себя, как опытный дипломат. Найдите слабое место в лагере противника и в нужный момент уничтожьте защиту и нанесите тонкий кинжальный удар. Чужие фигуры могут стать союзниками. Умелыми маневрами привлеките фигуры противника к их королю, пусть они его заблокируют так, чтобы он не мог пошевелиться, и в этот момент нанесите решающий удар. Плохо, когда все фигуры вашего противника отлично взаимодействуют. Попробуйте вбить клин в их порядки – перекрыть их прочной шахматной дверью. А так ли страшна атака противника на ваши укрепления? Стоит ли уходить в глухую оборону? Всегда ищите контрудар. Тонкий промежуточный укол может изменить ход борьбы! Если ваши фигуры сгрудились на небольшом пространстве и мешают друг другу добраться до короля противника – решите, кому пора идти на штурм королевской крепости, и освободите пространство фигуре для атаки. Короля всегда нужно защищать в первую очередь. Используйте это обстоятельство и совершите открытое нападение на него и другие фигуры. И тогда жернова вашей «мельницы» перемелют все вражеское войско. Казалось бы, король противника надежно прикрыт своей свитой. Но под мощным рентгеновским лучом ваших линейных фигур в позиции соперника сразу обнаружатся трещины и дыры!
