    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.

    Publisher: Russian Chess HouseLanguage: RussianFormat: RegularPages: 560Binding: HardcoverDate: 2020Description:The legendary "Problems and etudes" is the world's first periodical devoted entirely to chess composition (1927-1930). In total, 8 collections were released, which have become a great bibliographic rarity today. In this edition, all of them are combined into one book. These are not only first-class chess compositions and wonderful articles by leading masters of the past that have not lost their relevance today. This is also a fascinating excursion into the history of the USSR in the late 20s of the XX century. Alas, the publication was destined for a short life – in 1930, one of its initiators, the famous chess composer L. B. Zalkind was arrested and convicted in the case of the Union Bureau of the Menshevik party. The time of mass terror had not yet come, and printed publications were already disappearing from the bookshelves of the socialist state. Under the General editorship of the world champion in composition Oleg Pervakov. For a wide range of fans of chess and chess composition.
