    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 new book of the famous theorist Yevgeny Sveshnikov is devoted to the course of 2.f4 in the Sicilian defense. According to the grandmaster, who has been studying this system for about 40 years and applied more than 100 times, she repeatedly rescued him in important fights with strong rivals when he needed only victory. The progress of 2.f4 is not very popular now, and therefore - there is a wide scope for the debut creativity. Meanwhile, this plan creates serious problems for Black; They must act fairly energetically and accurately in order not to fall into the worst position. The author relies mainly on his parties, because he willingly played this system for both colors. A number of important fights for the first time are published for the first time: at one time Yevgeny Sveshnikov did not allow them to get into public computer bases. Most of the detailed commentaries are given in their entirety to show the inextricable link between the opening and the middlegame and even the endgame.
