    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.

    Сергей Всеволодович Белавенец – один из сильнейших советских мастеров предвоенных лет, неоднократный участник чемпионатов СССР, авторитетный теоретик и журналист. Это он придумал ставший знаменитым афоризм: «Шахматы – трагедия одного темпа». А сформулированный им принцип «Не спешить!» стал важным элементом грамотной игры в эндшпиле. Сергей Всеволодович остался в памяти шахматистов как человек на редкость приветливый, спокойный, умный, обладающий врожденным тактом и большой культурой. Он хотел написать популярный учебник для шахматистов-разрядников, тщательно отбирал для него материалы, однако работа осталась неоконченной: в 1942 году С.В. Белавенец погиб на фронте. Его дочь Людмила родилась за год до начала войны. Через всю жизнь она пронесла образ своего отца и во многом под его влиянием решила связать свою жизнь с шахматами. Она была чемпионкой Москвы и СССР, а наиболее крупных успехов добилась в игре по переписке: в 1990 году стала чемпионкой мира, в составе сборной СССР трижды побеждала на Олимпиадах. Людмила Сергеевна систематизировала и обработала учебные материалы, подготовленные отцом, а также отобрала для книги лучшие партии – его и свои. Все шахматные примеры прошли компьютерную проверку; авторы выражают признательность международному мастеру Максиму Ноткину за помощь в этой работе. Учебник Белавенца не утратил своей актуальности: качественных учебных пособий для любителей по-прежнему выходит удивительно мало. Людмила Сергеевна Белавенец – один из лучших детских тренеров в нашей стране. Прирожденный педагог, человек талантливый и мудрый, она продолжает воспитывать новые поколения юных шахматистов. Среди ее воспитанников немало чемпионов мира, России и Европы, мастеров и гроссмейстеров, шахматных профессионалов, тренеров и журналистов. Наверняка ее размышления о проблемах детских шахмат будут интересны юным талантам и их родителям, а также коллегам-тренерам. Для широкого круга любителей шахмат. 2 вкладки – ч/б 16 стр. и цветная 16 стр
