  • Basic chess endings
    Basic chess endings
    Author:
    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.

    Author:
    Chernyshov

    The authors continue to study typical opening and middlegame positions. Royal Fortress No. 2 has pawns on squares f7, g6, h7 (or f2, g3, h2), and they are usually joined by another defender – bishop on g7 (g2). This formation is called fianchetto, it is found in many popular openings, such as the Catalan Opening, King's Indian Defense, Grunfeld Defense and a number of others.  The authors analyze in detail the techniques of attack, defense and counterattack. Most examples – from the creativity of modern chess players (for example, a separate chapter is dedicated to the strongest Russian grandmaster Ian Nepomniachtchi); they are complemented by parts that have become a classical heritage. The book contains about 300 positions for independent solution, so it is not only a textbook, but also a solid problem book. Grandmaster Konstantin Chernyshov, head of the Interregional Grandmaster School in Kostroma, and his daughter International Master Natalya Kareva – experienced coaches, whose students include grandmasters and masters, champions of Russia and Europe among juniors.  The book is addressed to young chess players and their mentors.

    Antique Soviet Book:  Author: Gollerbach E. F.  Title: Porcelain of the state factory.  Binding: Soft  Published: Moscow, 1922  56 pages with 8 pages of illustrations.  Condition: closer to the good, front cover and closer to the good, front cover and foretitle separately, snatches  Graphics by I. F. Rerberg and S. V. Chehonin. Edited by I. Lazarevsky.  The book tells about the "new" post-revolutionary life of the Imperial porcelain factory. On June 28, 1918, after the publication of the decree of the Council of people's Commissars on the nationalization of large enterprises, the Imperial Porcelain Factory was renamed the State Porcelain Factory. The plant was given the task of "becoming a supplier to all the people". In August 1918, S. V. Chehonin was elected artistic Director of the GFZ. His creative and business skills were highly valued by Narkompros and Lunacharsky. By that time, Chekhov was known as a well-known book graphic artist, expert and master of miniatures, one of the best specialists in ceramics. As early as 1917, he became one of the prominent employees Of the Department of education Of the People's Commissariat of education. As history shows, the appointment of Chekhov was a very reasonable step of the Soviet government – the ideas of the new system, the pathos of the ideas of the Revolution interested the artist and gave him a push in the right direction. Chekhov and the artists under his command can be called the fathers of Soviet propaganda porcelain. In fact, agitation porcelain is the main focus of this book. к368
