    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.

    In this book, the authors confined themselves to the study of the most typical and most often encountered in practice rook endings. In this paper, the authors used an interesting way. Elementary positions are first examined, and the technique for achieving a win or draw is based on natural logical moves. Tactical subtleties are shown only where they are really needed. The transition to rook ends with two or more pawns was carried out in the order of a sequential increase in the material, and the authors sought to show the relationship with simpler endings. A whole series of such endings was investigated for the first time. In the last chapter, the authors, on the basis of the material worked out, summarized the main ideas that should be used when drawing rook endings.
