    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 sixth, final book dedicated to the work of Mikhail Tal. It covers the last period of his performances in tournaments, ending on July 28, 1992, when the exhausted organism could no longer serve the indomitable spirit. It became more and more difficult to play, more and more difficult, but the bright bursts of Talev's genius continued to often delight his fans. Tal's performances at the World Cup in Reykjavik (1988), tournaments in Tel Aviv (1990) and Buenos Aires (1991) deserve to be noted in both the results and the game, but his victory at the first world blitz championship in 1988. Tal carried his love for the lightning-fast game through his whole life, and it was no coincidence that his last tournament was a blitz in Moscow (two weeks before his death), in which he took third place, winning in a personal duel with world champion Garry Kasparov. The last serious tournament game of Mikhail Tal specifically for our publication was commented on by grandmaster Alexei Shirov, a brilliant chess artist who preserves and enhances the creative traditions of his great countryman, carefully and at the same time & mdash; fearlessly supporting and fanning the Talev fire on a chessboard.
