    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.

    Славянская защита - самый популярный закрытый дебют наших дней, входящий в репертуар подавляющего большинства гроссмейстеров высокого класса. Шахматист-практик, играющий 1.d4, сталкивается с этим дебютом практически в каждом турнире, черными же применять его можно вообще чуть ли не в каждой второй партии. В течение многих лет я играл самые разные разветвления этого дебюта за оба цвета, анализировал его как самостоятельно, так и в содружестве со многими известными гроссмейстерами. Сейчас я решил дать возможность всем желающим заглянуть в гроссмейстерскую лабораторию и познакомиться с моим профессиональным отношением к тем или иным дебютным разветвлениям. Вторая часть работы включает в себя все системы, не вошедшие в первую. Это популярный вариант Алапина 3.Kf3 Kf6 4.Kc3 dxc4, а также системы, берущие начало после 4...e6. Не забыты такие возможности как 5.g3 и 5.Фb3, а после 5.e3 Kbd7 разбираются главным образом меранский (6.Сd3 dxc4 7.Сxc4 b5) и антимеранский (6.Фc2 Сd6) варианты. Еще одну солидную часть книги занимает продолжение 5.Bg5, делящееся в свою очередь на несколько крупных самостоятельных разделов. Это московский (5...h6 6.Сxf6) и антимосковский (5...h6 6.Сh4) варианты, а также система Ботвинника 5...dxc4. Возможность объединить такое количество систем в одной книге (ее можно было бы сделать пятитомником) появилась благодаря тому, что я старался дерево устаревших с моей точки зрения линий сократить до умеренного количества, оставляя лишь то, что действительно полезно знать. В дебютных книгах часто приводятся второсортные продолжения, после которых следует большое количество ссылок на сыгранные таким образом партии. В итоге книга раздувается, а суть оказывается размыта. Я в подобных случаях кратко отмечал, почему данная конкретная линия не заслуживает подробного рассмотрения. Такой подход позволил «объять необъятное» не только без потери качества, но наоборот — под рукой всегда именно то, что необходимо, а найти нужную рекомендацию гораздо проще. Текстовые пояснения к вариантам и ключевым позициям даны не везде, а лишь в тех случаях, где мне это показалось важным и где выводы не слишком очевидны. В остальном использовалась общепринятая символьная система оценок. Книга содержит очень большое количество новинок с прилагающимися анализами, проделанными не менее тщательно, чем в первой части.

    The book of the repeated champion of Belarus, the well-known theoretician, coach A. Kapengut - is a serious study of one of the most popular debuts, meeting the current tendencies of aggravation of the struggle at the beginning of the game. The construction of the Blacks, which has evolved from the system of Old Indian defense into an independent debut (known as modernism, Benoni), is brought to a double-edged position with a clearly defined tactical picture of the struggle for initiative. When building a book, preference is given to practical material. For convenience of exposition, sometimes the most popular continuation is taken as the basis, while the strongest can be taken in notes. The parties appearing in print up to 1981 inclusive, as well as the most important parties played in 1982 It is designed for highly skilled chess players.
