    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.

All tournaments and matches of the second half of Petrosian's chess career are presented, up to his last performances in 1983. The authors subjected 175 complete games and fragments to an in-depth analysis (using modern computers). Not all of them have been deeply studied and commented on before, but even then the book provides a significantly improved analysis. Among Petrosyan’s opponents – world champions and contenders Kasparov, Karpov, Fischer, Spassky, Tal, Smyslov, Botvinnik, Korchnoi and Bronstein, as well as Timman, Larsen, Reshevsky, Belyavsky, Polugaevsky, Portisch, Romanishin and many others.

    Publisher: Andrey ElkovAuthor(s): LinderLanguage: RussianFormat: UsualPages: 336Binding: HardDate: 2020Dear reader! In your hands is a collection of the most precious and memorable works of the author - both written long ago, and lying for several decades in the archive, and born in recent years. My pen tests in various literary genres, including poetry, always surprised and pleased my father, the chess historian Isaac Linder. A strict fan of chess "classicism" and historical realism, he boldly co-authored a freethinker and, as critics from his beloved 19th century would say, a Greyhound painter. And I must say, the "docking" was successful. I took some pleasure in writing historical stories, and he began to indulge in elegant artistic digressions. For more than a quarter of a century, we have perfectly understood and complemented each other… This book is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the passionate propagandist of chess culture, chess encyclopedist, writer and sage Isaac Maxovich Linder, it is a thank you and a bow to his bright memory. Among its heroes are people who, by the will of fate, linked their lives with Chess.
