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.

A chess player during a game solves two main problems: what should he do and how to do it. The answer to the second question is given by tactics, and what to do in the created situation is a matter of strategy. Recently, books appeared in the chess literature dealing with certain strategic elements (for example, the endgame strategy or typical strategic approaches), in the same book the author tried to tell about the strategy in its entirety.
The textbook tells about the overall strategic understanding , separately considered the strategy of the debut, the strategy of the middle game and the strategy of the endings. The strategic laws are described, typical strategic plans and standard strategic methods are given, and common maneuvers of figures are described.
A careful study of the book will reveal the delightful world of the positional game before the reader, raise the skill and add points to the standings. & Nbsp; > The book will be useful to everyone: from beginners to candidates for the master

How do amateur and top-level chess players build their debut repertoire?

Grandmasters choose openings based on practical considerations, taking into account their ability to attack and defend, to play an endgame, to be ready (or unprepared) for a long fight.

Fashionable systems are constantly being improved, they regularly apply complex novelties & mdash; their mechanical repetition will not help to achieve high results.

This book offers chess players a carefully thought-out and already built up a full debut repertoire that helps them achieve tournament victories, driving their opponents to well-studied positions with thoughtful game plans.
