    Basic chess endings
    Author:
    Fine

    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.

    1) Капабланка в России - И. Линдер, В. Линдер Авторы настоящей книги рассказали о жизни и деятельности гениального шахматиста, с соответствующим акцентом на его связи с советской шахматной культурой, постарались показать несостоятельность некоторых получивших хождение еще при жизни великого шахматиста и затем укоренившихся в литературе стереотипов, которые мешают увидеть его истинный вклад в сокровищницу шахматного искусства, в развитие мировой шахматной культуры (в их числе утверждения о его пренебрежении к дебютной теории, о том, что он являл собой «человека-машину» в шахматах, что он был глашатаем их близкой «ничейной смерти», наконец, что шахматы в его жизни были лишь хобби). При работе над книгой были использованы самые различные источники, как советские, так и зарубежные. Кроме сборников партий и общих трудов о жизни и творчестве Капабланки, внимание авторов привлекли оригинальные публикации кубинского шахматиста в советской литературе, отдельные малоизвестные, но важные его статьи в испаноязычной прессе, а также имевшиеся в распоряжении авторов неопубликованные письма Капабланки, воспоминания о нем современников. Наконец, многочисленные публикации советских авторов по теоретическим или общим проблемам шахматного искусства, в которых рассматриваются творческие идеи Капабланки. Представление об этих работах дает приводимая в книге библиография использованной литературы. Подробно о московских турнирах 1925, 1935, 1936 гг. Рассчитана на широкий круг любителей шахмат. 2) В далеком Багио - Карпов А. О матче на первенство мира Карпов-Корчной 1978 г. глазами победителя. 3) На шахматном Олимпе - Батуринский В., Карпов А. История борьбы за первенство мира и лучшие партии А.Карпова; много партий и фото. 4) Сквозь призму полувека - Флор С. В книге выдающегося гроссмейстера и журналиста собраны его лучшие работы, а также воспоминания. 5) Они играли в шахматы - Антонов Г.В., Гродзенский С.Я., Линдер И.М., Романов Очерки о выдающихся русских и советских писателях, ученых и музыкантах, в жизни которых значительное место занимали шахматы: Чернышевский, Менделеев, Пушкин. Толстой, Тургенев, Горький, Маяковский, Скрябин, Прокофьев и мн.др. Они высоко ценили эту игру, посвящали ей часы досуга, а порой шахматы служили для них источником вдохновения, помогая ярче проявить свой гений в науке, литературе, искусстве. Эта сторона жизни выдающихся людей интересна не только тем, что позволяет полнее представить их жизнь, мир занятий и увлечений. Она раскрывает шире, глубже влияние игры на человека, место ее в обществе, нравственно-воспитательное предназначение, удивительную многоплановость, вызванную триединой формулой шахмат — искусство, наука, спорт. В столь широком аспекте книга на эту тему публикуется впервые. Книга рассчитана на широкий круг любителей шахмат. 6) Эпизоды шахматных баталий - Ботвинник М. В книге представлены 40 эпизодов из партий первого советского чемпиона мира. Они отобраны автором либо из-за исключительности шахматного содержания, либо из-за их особого места в спортивной биографии. Удивительная глубина мысли Патриарха советских шахмат! В мягкой обложке.
