    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 hardly any other opening does the second player get so many chances for an early initiative as in the Chigorin Defense 1.d4 d5 2.c4 Nc6. Among its practitioners are A. Morozevich and I. Miladinovic, as well as various other strong grandmasters. Nevertheless, for a long time the Chigorin Defense had a dubious reputation. Only the success of the players just mentioned, combined with the appearance of the first German edition of this book in 2001 gradually changed this. This now thoroughly updated essential work on the Chigorin offers 115 games scrutinised in detail, explains all the strategic principles and therefore creates a solid theoretical basis for the defense. The author is a Ukrainian IM who now lives in Stuttgart / Germany. This book founded his reputation as a respected theoretician. “The contents are first-class and the author has put a tremendous amount of work into the book. Material is drawn from nearly all possible sources and the author has added an abundance of original analysis, improvements, and sug-gestions of his own. ” (Carsten Hansen on Chesscafe, Checkpoint May 2005) “It will not only become the Chigorin Defense bible for many years to come, but it establishes the Chigorin as a sound defense deserving respect.” (John Watson, The Week in Chess, Book Reviews # 46)
