    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 authors continue to study typical opening and middlegame positions. Royal Fortress No. 2 has pawns on squares f7, g6, h7 (or f2, g3, h2), and they are usually joined by another defender – bishop on g7 (g2). This formation is called fianchetto, it is found in many popular openings, such as the Catalan Opening, King's Indian Defense, Grunfeld Defense and a number of others.  The authors analyze in detail the techniques of attack, defense and counterattack. Most examples – from the creativity of modern chess players (for example, a separate chapter is dedicated to the strongest Russian grandmaster Ian Nepomniachtchi); they are complemented by parts that have become a classical heritage. The book contains about 300 positions for independent solution, so it is not only a textbook, but also a solid problem book. Grandmaster Konstantin Chernyshov, head of the Interregional Grandmaster School in Kostroma, and his daughter International Master Natalya Kareva – experienced coaches, whose students include grandmasters and masters, champions of Russia and Europe among juniors.  The book is addressed to young chess players and their mentors.

    Это уникальный учебник для начинающих, написанный в форме увлекательной фантастической истории про марсианского мальчика, его бабушку, богиню шахмат Киасу и друга Сера. Скажем честно: ничего подобного в детской шахматной литературе ещё не было! Легкий стиль и занимательное изложение, внешне шутливая, но глубоко продуманная подача материала позволят даже самому непоседливому ребенку, не отвлекаясь, непринужденно освоить правила игры, помогут ему одерживать победы не только в шахматах, но и в жизни.С первых же страниц книги маленький шахматист узнаёт много нового, словно бы исподволь начинает чувствовать принципы взаимодействия фигур, осваивает важнейшие понятия игры: кратчайшая дорога, шахматное время, выигрыш темпа, двойной удар, защита и нападение, жертва и завлечение... Основной принцип изложения предельно прост: детям никогда не должно быть скучно! Именно таков волшебный ключик, который откроет перед вашим ребёнком дверь в загадочную страну шахмат. Будучи полностью выполненной в цвете, книга богато иллюстрирована замечательным детским художником Геннадием Соколовым, а потому может стать прекрасным подарком. Тираж первого учебника для начинающих – «От А до...», написанного Мариной и Сергеем ещё в 1995-м году, разошёлся очень быстро, однако эта книга до сих пор используется многими опытными тренерами как удобное учебно-методическое пособие. Коротко об авторах: Марина и Сергей Макарычевы – ведущие «Шахматного обозрения» на телеканалах «НТВ-плюс», «НТВ-мир» и «НТВ-Америка» – посвятили 15 лет развитию шахмат во всем мире, выпустив более 2000 телепрограмм, множество документальных фильмов и уроков.
