    The vast majority of opening guides are written for adult readers. This book is also devoted to the theory but it is junior. The structure of the book is simple and attractive: openings are examined using examples from actual games, each of which is presented in the form of a lesson with its own name. Several such lessons form an opening theme, and the examination of each theme concludes with exercises. In each opening, attention is drawn to its characteristic tactical and strategic ideas of combinations for independent solution strictly corresponds to the opening theme. Written in clear and easy language, the book is furnished with a large number of diagrams. Colored explanatory arrows on the diagrams and the selection of individual pages with a colored background make the book easier to understand. Regular work solve two problems: deepen the student's knowledge and develop his tactical vision, thus improving his skill and results.

    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.

The high point of his brilliant career was a triumph at the largest international tournament in London in 1883, where he took first place, beating the runner-up Wilhelm Steinitz by three(!) points. In the subsequent match for the world championship, Zukertort led with a score of 4: 1, and, according to many experts, only health problems prevented him from becoming the first official world champion in history. The book, in fact, is divided into two parts. The first one consists of the best articles and fragments, the authors of which are mainly people who knew Zukertort well, and gives a full idea of his personality. The second and main part of the book presents the most complete collection of parties to date (more than 300), commented mainly by himself, as well as by his famous rivals – Steinitz, Chigorin, etc. The enduring value of Zuckertort's work is evidenced by the fact that many of his games were later commented on by the fifth world champion Max Euwe. I. Zukertort, a student of the uncrowned world champion A. Andersen, was an adherent of romantic, combination chess.
