    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

How often we had to read and hear these words, which from frequent use were lost, began to seem an empty banality. Meanwhile, Mikhail Ivanovich Chigorin (1850-1908) was really the brightest creative personality. A gambling, fascinating person, he spared no effort and time to find the truth of chess, to solve the mysteries of an intricate opening or seemingly simple endgame position. In those early years, universality had not yet become a "vital necessity" in chess, and therefore every major master had a clearly defined individual style, with its own advantages and disadvantages. The Russian champion believed in the dynamic potential of figures, aspired to an open figure game, and willingly sacrificed material for initiative. His powerful opponent, Wilhelm Steinitz, put unshakable positional values above all else: the reliability of the pawn structure, the predominance in the center, the preponderance in space. Chigorin and Steinitz played two matches for the world championship, a lot of tournament and light games, but their fundamental dispute was not only at the chessboard. Polemically sharp, uncompromising discussions of these titans and their followers graced the pages of Newspapers and magazines of those years.Chigorin passionately loved chess, and he was depressed by the lack of public interest in this wise game in our country. He wanted to prove that chess is not an empty sport; it can become a life's work, a real profession. To show chess in the most favorable light and attract the attention of an enlightened public, Chigorin for ten years published, mostly at his own expense, the magazines "Chess leaf" (1876-81) and "Chess Bulletin" (1885-87). He was the main and sometimes the only author there. Needless to say, these most striking examples of Russian chess thought have long since become a bibliographic rarity.The modern reader is spoiled by an abundance of chess literature. However, without the historical aura that envelops the creative essence of the chess player, our inner world would be much poorer.
