    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.

    Центральным событием шахматной жизни всегда было сражение за мировую шахматную корону. Кто решал судьбу шахматной короны? Кто принимал участие в чемпионатах мира? Как развивалась борьба? Кто в конце концов становился обладателем почетного приза? Ответы на эти вопросы дает книга председателя Комитета Международной шахматной федерации (ФИДЕ) «Шахматы — искусство», заслуженного тренера СССР, международного гроссмейстера Э. Гуфельда и члена Союза журналистов Украины, мастера спорта Украины Е. Лазарева. Читатели ознакомятся с самыми яркими партиями соревнований, многие из которых комментировали чемпионы мира, известные гроссмейстеры. Как быстро летит время! Кажется, что совсем недавно состоялся первый матч за шахматную корону — а ведь с тех пор пролетело уже более ста лет... Если бы шахматная корона могла говорить... Это была бы драматическая повесть о человеческих судьбах, о взлетах и падениях, о надеждах и крушениях, о неожиданных потерях и удивительных находках. Перелистаем страницы летописей короны. Ее судьба решалась десятки раз. Каждому из таких событий посвящен отдельный очерк. Рассмотрим по одной партии из каждого чемпионата мира, в котором разыгрывался титул чемпиона по шахматам. Подберем эти партии так, чтобы вспомнить комментарии к ним самих участников или авторитетных гроссмейстеров, в том числе чемпионов мира и претендентов. С поединками последнего десятилетия ознакомимся более подробно. Вниманию читателей предложены многие партии этих соревнований. Для широкого круга читателей.

Alekhine and Keres tied for 4th through 5th. Endre Steiner from Hungary captured sole 6th with six points, followed by Saviely Tartakower Ruben Fine for 7th and 8th respectively

    The author set himself a difficult goal: to create a kind of meditator's guide based on the material of the international tournament of grandmasters. Grandmaster Bronstein is famous for the depth of the game, an original understanding of the laws of chess. This is manifested in the games of the grandmaster that bypassed the world press and fully refers to his comments. Numerous positive, and sometimes laudatory reviews of the first literary work of D. Bronstein, the benefits brought by the book according to readers' reviews, indicated that the author successfully coped with the task. The second edition is slightly reduced compared to the first due to the elimination of obsolete material. The introductory article was supplemented, and the errors noted in the first edition were eliminated.
