    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.

    Coated paper, color printing, great gift! Grigori Kaygorodov, a doctor and poet from Uray, is sure that learning to play chess is not as difficult as it seems, & ndash; a little harder than learning to read. And he published a book in verse titled "The Alphabet of Chess". Since the circulation is not large (only one and a half thousand copies) the book can only be found in Uray & ndash; in bookstores or in kindergartens, where kids gradually learn to play chess. After all, each figure is described in simple verses with simple rhymes. It is much easier for babies to memorize information submitted in this way. In addition to the poems themselves, there are simple and vivid illustrations in the book & ndash; pictures and diagrams. As the author himself says, all this has been done to ensure that modern children stop paying so much attention and time to computers, and become more engaged in things that are useful for themselves. After all, chess improves memory, develops logical thinking, and also contributes to greater dedication and perseverance. In addition to the book, Kaygorodov created the & laquo; nursery & raquo; chess & ndash; incomplete set without queenside. His desire to develop the chess elite of Russia has already been noticed by Moscow grandmasters and chess coaches. Although it will be possible to judge the effectiveness of the textbook only in a few years.
