    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 defense of Alekhine, a brave debut that defies all classical rules of the game at the beginning of a chess game, has evolved over time into a flexible system that allows blacks to either agree to "extreme" options, or to move to three horizontal lines to free themselves at a convenient time. This debut is relatively rarely chosen by elite grandmasters, due to which he is far from being drawn to the bottom and quickly leads to live gaming positions. Choosing it, Black sets himself the task of winning, not only to fight for a draw. From playing, both white and black, Alyokhin's protection is demanded by specific knowledge, books devoted to this protection in Russian have not been published for almost 30 years.
