Bologan).  The book contains 75 games commented in detail and a number of fragments.

    Fine

    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.

    Комплект фарфоровых шахмат в восточно-народном стиле. Сделан в России в художественно–экспериментальной лаборатории, в которой изготавливают высокохудожественные изделия способом ручного литья. Фарфоровая масса РМ 905В (шликер) вручную заливается в гипсовые формы. Данная технология дает возможность получать тонкостенные изделия и изделия сложной формы (к которым относится данный комплект фарфоровых сувенирных шахмат). Все изделия – полуфабрикаты после высушивания вручную замываются для удаления литейных и формовочных швов. Высушенные и обработанные изделия ставятся на этажерочные кассеты и проходят утильный 1-й обжиг при температуре 990С камерной печи французской фирмы SERIC WISTRA. В процессе обжига происходит удаление органических соединений и начало процесса спекания полуфабриката. После 1-го обжига полуфабрикаты глазуруются методом окунания на глазуровочной машине фирмы SAMA глазурью марки ER 210Z. После глазурования изделия – полуфабрикаты ставятся на этажерочные кассеты и проходят 2-й обжиг при температуре 1400С в камерной печи фирмы SERIC WISTRA. Готовые фарфоровые изделия выбираются из кассет и проходят обработку шлифовки ножки на шлифовальной машине фирмы SAMA для удаления прилипших частиц к ножке изделий. Технические возможности завода , качество применяемого сырья , а также профессиональный и творческий подход коллектива к своей работе - все это позволяет выпускать высокохудожественные изделия из фарфора прикладного декоративно –утилитарного назначения с ручной (авторской ) росписью. Натуральный белый цвет представляет широчайшие возможности для росписи. В своем творчестве художники – фарфористы используют сложнейшую технологию - ручную роспись по белому полю фарфора специальными жаропрочными красками ярких , сочных тонов. При изготовлении сувенирных фарфоровых шахмат используются керамические золотосодержащие краски, после чего высокохудожественные изделия обжигаются в электрической печи при температуре 820С.
