    Dieses Buch bringt 150 Schachstudien aus der Werkstatt des Verfassers und einen Beitrag zur Theorie des Studien-Schachs. Die gebotenen Aufgaben stellen eine Auswahl aus den mehr als 300 bisher in verschiedenen Tageszeitungen des In- und Auslandes, in der „österreichischen Schachzeitung“, im „Schach-Magazin“ und vor allem in der „Deutschen Schachzeitung“ erstmalig veröffentlichten Studien dar. Arbeiten, deren Ursprünglichkeit dem Autor nunmehr zweifelhaft erscheint oder deren Inhalt ihn nicht mehr befriedigt, wurden nicht berücksichtigt. Und wäre der Verfasser nicht auf den Widerstand befreundeter Experten gestoßen, er hätte so manche Aufgabe von der Wiederveröffentlichung gleichfalls ausgeschlossen. An den ausgewählten Studien wurden, wo erforderlich, Änderungen, Erweiterungen und auch Richtigstellungen vorgenommen. Psychologische Gründe machten es ratsam, mit wenigen Ausnahmen auf die Wiedergabe allzu weitläufiger Aufgaben zu verzichten und in einer gewissen Ausgewogenheit neben schwieriger lösbaren Studien auch leichtere zu bringen und damit der Erfahrungstatsache Rechnung zu tragen, dass der überwiegende Teil der Löser von sehr schwierigen und reichlich verzweigten Aufgaben nicht angezogen wird. Weiter wurde die persönliche Vorliege des Autors für Turmspiele einigermaßen gezügelt und überhaupt manches versucht, Einseitigkeit zu vermeiden

    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.

    Bauernschwächen entscheiden in unzähligen Schachpartien über Sieg und Niederlage. Jeder Spieler muß sich im praktischen Kampf wieder und immer wieder mit Bauernschwächen im eigenen und gegnerischen Lager auseinandersetzen. Deshalb kommt der vorliegenden fundamentalen Untersuchung von Bauernschwächen und allen damit zusammenhängenden Problemen höchste Bedeutung zu. Wolfgang Uhlmann, der bekannte Internationale Großmeister, hat seine in langjähriger Spielpraxis gewonnenen Erfahrungen in dieses Buch eingebracht, um für den Leser die Beschäftigung mit der Theorie so gewinnbringend und leicht wie nur irgend möglich zu machen. Anhand von 139 Partien aus der älteren und modernen Meisterpraxis wird das Thema Bauernschwächen erschöpfend abgehandelt. Die Autoren erörtern eingehend die drei Grundformen der Bauernschwächen: den isolierten Bauern, den rückständigen Bauern und den Doppelbauern. Die verschiedenen strategischen Zusammenhänge werden leichtverständlich herausgearbeitet und die davon für beide Spieler stellungsgerechten Pläne abgeleitet. Ausführlich dargelegt sind die engen Beziehungen zwischen Eröffnungssystemen und den Formen von Bauernschwächen. Auf diese Weise erfährt der Schachfreund alles, was er wissen muß, um feindliche Bauernschwächen optimal auszunutzen bzw. eigene Bauernschwächen bestmöglich zu verteidigen. Der Band ist übersichtlich und anschaulich angelegt, daß ihn Schachspieler jeglicher Spielstärke mit Gewinn nutzen können. Jedes Kapitel wird mit allgemeinen Gesichtspunkten zur Bewertung eingeleitet und ist nach sachlichen Gesichtspunkten sehr übersichtlich gegliedert. Über 230 Diagramme erhöhen die Anschaulichkeit. Den Abschluß bilden Partien mit Punktbewertung, so daß die Leser ihren Kenntnisstand und Wissenszuwachs selbst kontrollieren können.
