    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.

    This is a gift edition. Coated paper. Metal corners. Author: Mark Taimanov Title: Remembering the Best Ones Published: Saint-Petersburg, 2010 Binding: Hardback Language: Russian Pages: 216   In a colorful and bright kaleidoscope of meetings, acquaintances, events can not be the classical unity of place and time. And significance. Something flashed, leaving a barely noticeable trace in memory, which turned out to be something important stuck out. Some travelers remained what is called `nodding`. Others have grown into long-term friendship. Of course, meetings with prominent political figures are of a special nature - they seem, perhaps, the most unusual, curious, sometimes very flattering, but mostly accidental. The art world is different. With colleagues contacts and deeper, and more lasting, but, too, usually episodic - life, tour scatter in time and space. But with colleagues across the chess weapons is often attributed to years, if not decades. Joint trips, long tournaments, training, where you live for a long time side by side and together `eat poods of salt`, determine a special degree of mutual awareness and spiritual openness. The character of the impressions sunk into memory is also incomparable - from watercolor sketches to monumental paintings. I hope the reader will not complain about the inevitable disproportion of narrative forms. The main criterion I considered the uniqueness and importance of my heroes, the brightness of their personalities.   Mark TaimanovArt MN
