    Author:
    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.

    The white figures are made of mammoth bone. In order to eliminate the staining of figures with black paint, the manufacturer decided to use an equally luxurious material for black figures - ebony in its natural and natural form.  Ebony is a dense black-brown hardwood that comes from several species of the genus Diospyros. This wood is used to make chess pieces because of its strength, fine texture and mirror shine when polished. It is noteworthy that ebony wood sinks in water due to its high density. Ebony is considered to be precious and one of the most expensive types of wood The sizes of the shapes: King: Height - 10.3cm Base diameter - 5 cm A pawn: Height - 5 cm Base diameter - 3.5 cm Horse: Height - 6 cm Base diameter - 4 cm Rook: Height - 5.7cm Base diameter - 4 cm Elephant: Height - 6.6cm Base diameter - 4 cm Queen: Height - 8.5 cm Base diameter - 4 cm Board size: 52.5x52.5x11 cm The size of the playing field is 46x46 cm The size of the game cage is 5.5 cm The size of the shipping case: 63x59x14 cm These chess sets represent exactly the first model of the Staunton design of 1849. Staunton is a standard chess piece design created in the mid-19th century by Nathaniel Cook. This chess design got its name in honor of the famous English chess player Howard Staunton, who lived in the 19th century. The FIDE organization recommends Staunton chess for competitions held under its auspices. Until the middle of the 19th century, every country in Europe where chess tournaments were held had its own traditional standards for chess piece designs (Barleycorn, Calver, Selenus, St. George, Lund, Regence, etc.), which was undoubtedly very inconvenient during international competitions. Nathaniel Cook registered Staunton chess on March 1, 1849, however, in the same year the rights to this chess design passed to John Jacquet, who was the brother of Nathaniel Cook's wife and owned John Jaques of London, specializing in the manufacture and sale of sports equipment. The first set of chess designed by Staunton went on sale on September 8, 1849. At the same time, the periodical "The Illustrated London News", well-known at that time, printed an advertising article stating that Howard Staunton himself was one of the creators of this wonderful design of chess pieces. There is a version that the famous chess player wrote the article, as he subsequently actively contributed to the promotion of this chess set on the market. Howard Staunton's facsimile signature was displayed under the cover of the chessboards of the first Staynton sets, and one of his books was attached to the set for free as an advertisement. However, there is an assumption that the real author of the Staunton design is John Jacquet, and Cook only registered it for himself and subsequently attracted Howard Staunton to promote chess on the market. In 1940, German aircraft bombed the John Jaques of London factory. Historical sketches and drawings of Staunton chess pieces burned down in the fire. The first Staunton chess sets were carved from ivory or hardwoods (for example, boxwood). Later, they began to be created from mammoth tusks and various valuable tree species such as wenge, ebony, boxwood, etc.
