    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.

    Original tutorial. The name Lasker Compensation is sufficiently conditional. In the classical literature, this ratio of material is unequivocally determined: a queen against a rook, a light piece and a pawn. In the book presented to the reader, this question is considered more widely: the queen is on one side, and the rook and the light piece on the other side are the fundamental position. One or two pawns can be on either side without disturbing the integrity of the logical narrative. Moreover, the queen's sacrifices for a rook, a light piece and pawns are usually referred to as a mid-spiel position. This paper discusses the issues of struggle for a given material ratio in all phases of a chess game. The book is for chess dischargers, coaches, heads of chess clubs and sections and just chess lovers.

    Классический учебник шахматной игры великого Чемпиона. Фото, современные аналитические редакторские приложения. "Lasker’s Manual of Chess is philosophical to its core. It helps you examine different kinds of problems in the most varied positions and it is exceptionally important, both for practical players and for trainers. Many times I have re-read, with great pleasure and great benefit to myself, those portions of the book dedicated to combinations, positional play (here we find accurately laid out the vital principles of the theory of Steinitz, which form the basis of contemporary chess), and chess aesthetics... "Lasker was both a great fighter and a deep thinker. His book forms the quintessence of many years of exceptionally successful experience, and his thoughts on the same. It teaches you what he considers to be most important, general principles and methods applicable to any situation. Once you have read the Manual, you will become wiser, which is bound to help you later on, both in chess and in life." — From the Foreword by Mark Dvoretsky

    World Champion Magnus Carlsen, answering a question about the methods of improving young chess players, emphasized: “One of the most important skills is pattern recognition: the ability to see typical themes and patterns on the board, characteristic features of a position and the resulting consequences.” This book is dedicated to the development of precisely these skills and abilities: it clearly shows what kind of `` image '' (pattern, typical maneuver, plan) must be recognized in one type of position or another in order to choose the correct plan. We are talking specifically about strategic techniques, and not about tactical ones, like typical mate attacks. The book is divided into four parts, each of which is preceded by a small preface. The chapters contain at least six examples per template, since repetition is the mother of learning. Self-help assignments will help you better assimilate the material. After studying the book, the typical plans, maneuvers and related ideas presented in it will firmly remain in your memory and will be of great benefit in the upcoming tournament battles. For a wide range of chess lovers.
