    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.

    Condition: Very good Small scratches on the binding This book is the most complete collection of Emanuel Lasker's chess works in the world today. In addition to the frequently published CHESS TEXTBOOK and the rarer but well-known work COMMON SENSE IN CHESS, it includes rudiments of chess knowledge and lessons for beginners - works that are completely inaccessible today. Lasker's influence on the chess world was enormous, his athletic superiority over his opponents was so incredible that his contemporaries could not find a reasonable explanation for it. Some attributed his success to luck, others even suspected hypnosis! Only today have many of the methods that Lasker used in his chess practice become clear, although he, as a true scientist, directly set out his views in printed works. Lasker's books are essential for anyone who wants to understand chess and achieve success in it. Special hard "puffy" binding.
