    Fine

    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.

    Frankly, I began to read this book with skepticism. And in vain! The further, the more you fall under the charm of the author’s ironic personality. Soft, not humorous humor, ease of thought and style, juicy chess examples with unexpected endings. All this could already be appreciated by the readers of & quot; 64 & quot ;, where several stories that have been included in this collection have been tested.   Most of it is given to the marvelous "landscape gardening" park. chess, filled with the clash of blitz, bikes and brandy. But flashes and leading figures of varying degrees of adulthood. & quot; It was enough for me to cross the street, go to the next school and, catching the little Boria Spassky on the break, strictly ask: "Well, how does Zack teach you there?" & quot; & quot; Here is a meeting with Vitya Korchnoi in besieged Leningrad, and a cruel defeat by the modest pioneer Vova Kramnik, and a surreal simultaneous game session in Spanish Plinares, in which the author beautifully blew Barry Klimovich Bazarov himself ... Truth and fiction, reality and mystification are to separate one from another sometimes as difficult as the vodka from tomato juice in a famous cocktail. But is it worth separating? Drink in small sips at night, and no bad dreams you will not dream!
