    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.

    Foreword by A. Karpov. In this book, the author considers the outstanding American grandmaster, world champion Robert Fisher from an unexpected angle: he is interested in how Fisher lost. It just so happened that chess masters, bringing their creativity to the court of readers, almost always tell only about victories. All of us are accustomed to see the instructive in the highest achievements, forgetting, perhaps, that defeats, by virtue of their sobering effects, teach more, although pride is much less fun. Mednis sees his task in highlighting the “moment of error” in each party and trying to explain it. Readers will see on the pages of the book not a mythical chess machine, but a Fischer man, who, like all mortals, is not alien to excitement and error, frivolity and negligence. The games of the great player Fisher, which may be especially lost to him, contain the richest chess experience and information for all of us. Recommended by highly qualified chess players, as well as in coaching. "A wonderful book, in my opinion." V. Ivanchuk (from an interview with E. Surov).
