    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.

    International Master Tibor Karolyi and FIDE Master Tigran Gozalyan have prepared a major work (in two volumes) about the life and work of the 9th world chess champion Tigran Petrosyan (he held the title from 1963 to 1969).  Volume II (1963-1984) tells about Petrosyan's victory in the 1963 world title match over Mikhail Botvinnik, about the grandiose two-match confrontation with Boris Spassky in 1966 and 1969, about all his candidates' matches after losing the title – against Bobby Fischer, Viktor Korchnoi and other world-class opponents. 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. Special attention is paid to his coaches – Alexey Suetin and Igor Zaitsev.

    An excellent teaching aid can serve as the author’s selected games. They are arranged on a thematic basis, and detailed notes to them, as rightly pointed out by P. A. Romanovsky, reveal the “internal meaning of the processes of struggle”. The book includes the author’s games with Alekhine, Botvinnik, Kotov, Levenfish, Bondarevsky, Averbakh and many other major masters. The class of the game in these games is not always the same, but at an invariably high level are deep and informative notes. The autobiography of P. A. Romanovsky is instructive and interesting. It contains curious sketches of pre-revolutionary chess life, a description of the first steps in the development of Soviet chess culture. The author recalls some statements by Alekhine, episodes of various competitions. The main thing, of course, in the autobiography is the story about the formation of the chess view of the Russian master, his creative position now, after almost half a century of service to chess art. There is no doubt that readers with interest and benefit for themselves will become acquainted with the work of the oldest master.
