    «The idea of continuing the autobiographical book “Steps” has been in the air almost since the moment it was written.

Bologan).  The book contains 75 games commented in detail and a number of fragments. A frank story about the life and professional path, about cooperation with the leading grandmasters and coaches of the world (among them - A. Karpov, G. Kasparov, Yu. Polgar, Zhu Chen, R.

    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.

    Из ценных пород дерева. Высота короля - 9,5 см, диаметр основания - 4,2 см. Наиболее удобны для практической игры! Стоимость указана при покупке в Москве. Стоимость пересылки уточняйте при заказе. Вот уже полтора века эти фигуры украшают все крупные шахматные соревнования. Их благородный, совершенный силуэт не спутаешь ни с каким другим. И кому не известно, что они названы так по имени великого Стаунтона. Но, оказывается это глубокое заблуждение: эти фигуры создал совсем другой человек! В 1995 году директор музея шахмат России Наталья Иванова поделилась с общественность своим открытием, ставшим результатом её многолетних изысканий. Потребность в универсальных шахматных фигурах возникла к середине прошлого века, в преддверии первого международного турнира в Лондоне (1851). В то время европейские игроки пользовались различными шахматными дизайнами. Англичане обратились к талантливому лондонскому художнику Натаниелю Куку. Работа у него двигалась споро, пока не дошло дело до коня. Кук поступил мудро - он направился в Британский музей и, действительно, вскоре нашел там искомое: прообразом «стаунтоновского» коня с подстриженной на античный манер гривой послужила один из лошадей, изображенных на хранящемся в музее фризе Парфенона - древнегреческого храма, украшенного знаменитым Фидием в V веке до н. э. Когда комплект полностью был готов, его показали знаменитому шахматному мастеру Говарду Стаунтону. Благородные фигуры так ему понравились, что он разрешил... ставить свое факсимиле на коробках с фигурами. Дизайн «стаунтона» (о Куке все как бы забыли) был запатентован 1 марта 1849 года, а уже 29 сентября лондонская фирма «Джон Жаке» предложила первый комплект для продажи. Какое-то время эта фирма была единственным производителем стаунтоновских шахмат. Затем их стали делать и в других странах. В Петербурге их производила некая фирма Гейча. Любопытно, что один из выпущенных ей комплектов использовался в первом матче Карпов - Каспаров (1984). Есть какая-то тайна в этих удивительных фигурах, и постичь ее, наверное, может далеко не каждый художник. Кажется, нашим мастерам, вооружённым новейшими технологиями, это удалось.
