    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.

    Have you ever read about what happens behind the scenes of world championship matches, what is the incredible price to get the championship crown? Chess at the highest level is full of drama, shrouded in a veil of mystery, which only a few are allowed to open. This book is a unique testimony of the struggle for the right to write your name in history. Evgeny Bareev helped Vladimir Kramnik on two matches for the title of chess king: with Garry Kasparov (London 2000) and Peter Leko (Brisaggo 2004). Ilya Levitov on the rights of a friend persuaded him to tell frankly about these fights. The book, based on personal notes made by Bareev directly during the matches, as well as on his many hours of conversation with the co-author, describes the peripeteia of intense struggle, and also gives a detailed analysis of all the games of the two matches.
