    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.

    It is no secret that to successfully play an open Sicilian (2.Kf3 and 3.d4) it is necessary to have deep knowledge of a very large range of various schemes and debuts.

First of all, this book (as well as other books in this series) is intended for those chess players who love the initiative game, are not afraid to sacrifice, but at the same time they just want to play chess for their own pleasure, and not engage in constant tracking of the latest innovations in line with the official theory.

    The Sicilian Defense variant 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.Bc4 is named after the Russian master Sozin, who introduced him to the tournament practice in 1929. But the main contribution to the study of this option made the legendary Robert Fisher. He not only included it in his debut repertoire, but also made him the main weapon against the version of Najdorf 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6, most popular in the Sicilian defense. And so option 5 ... a6 6.Bc4 should rightfully bear the name of Fisher. This is the reason for the title of the book “Fisher vs. Najdorf”. Variant survived a real boom after a very serious run-in in the match for the title of world champion in 1993, Kasparov - Short, where Harry Kasparov himself had to come forward as an opponent of the ideas of Fisher. And only sports happiness helped the world champion save a number of difficult positions. After that, “Fisher's Option 6.Bc4” appeared in the repertoire of not only Kasparov, but Topalov, Ivanchuk and other famous chess players. The book is based on the parties of Fisher and Kasparov, which determine the development of the variant, and is supported by the theory presented in an accessible form.
