    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 book brought to your attention contains: 50 tests, 12 positions each, the time allotted for the test is 1 hour. The subject of examples is extensive (35 types in total), their order is random, so it is difficult to deduce any patterns, there is only one way left: to study the position, analyze what you see, highlight the main thing and draw conclusions with the help of reasoning, i.e. offer a solution. If the solution is correct, then you get a certain number of points for it (from one to four). The sum of points scored in solving the positions of one test will allow you to judge the level of your preparation. Before proceeding to solve this or that example, you should first carefully study the position. The order in this case can be as follows: first of all, we are interested in the location of the kings, then the balance of power, then we look at which pieces and pawns (our own and others') are under attack, which ones are poorly protected, and, finally, we pay attention to confrontations, i.e. . bundles and "ambushes". How well you do this will determine the correct answer. We hope that the solution of these tests will be a good basis for your future victories.
