    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 book is dedicated to one of the greatest chess players in history, participant of the first official world championship match Johann Zuckertort. The highest point of his brilliant career was the triumph at the largest international tournament in London in 1883, where he took first place, ahead of three (!) Points took second place Wilhelm Steinitz. In the subsequent match for the world championship, Zuckertort was leading with a score of 4: 1, and, according to many experts, only health problems prevented him from becoming the world's first official world champion. The book, in fact, is divided into two parts. The first consists of the best articles and fragments, the authors of which are mostly people who knew Zuckertort well, and gives a full picture of his personality. In the second and the main part of the book, the most complete collection of parties (more than 300), commented mainly on himself, as well as his famous rivals, is presented to the present day & ndash; Steinitz, Chigorin, etc. The continuing value of Zukertort's creativity is evidenced by the fact that many of his parties were commented on subsequently by the fifth world champion Max Euwe. I. Tsukertort, a disciple of the uncrowned world champion A. Andersen, was an adherent of romantic, combinational chess. His party will undoubtedly help you to improve your skills and get pleasure from genuine masterpieces of chess art.
