    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.

(Historical information).  Language: Russian  Binding: In a composite owner's quality binding of the era  Published: Prague 1922.  Pages: 304   Condition: good   In the book the author writes: "Deliberately ignoring the personal life of Grigory Rasputin and completely bypassing the intimate aspects of it that have become a byword, in my book "Rasputin and Russia" I cite only those facts that are directly or indirectly related, as proof of his influence on matters of purely national significance, which, I think, is more clearly revealed this bulky figure of Russian pre-revolutionary modernity, the figure that brought the last stone to strengthen the autocracy, the stone that crushed the entire structure, carefully constructed for centuries, gaps and cracks of which, completely unnoticed by the builders, and eventually led to disaster. The entire book "Rasputin in Russia", from the biography of Rasputin, his appearance on the socio-political horizon to the moment of his murder - all these data are nothing more than a chronicle of the seven-year Rasputin era, a chronicle that has now become historical.".
