This resulted in a book of the type that I love. A chess player of any strength can find a lot of useful things here.

    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.

Бородинское сражение — крупнейшее сражение Отечественной войны 1812 года между русской и французской армиями. Оно состоялось 7 сентября (26 августа по старому стилю) 1812 г. у села Бородино в 125 км западнее Москвы. Формально сражение закончилось победой французских войск под командованием Наполеона, хотя французам не удалось одержать решающую победу над русскими войсками под командованием генерала Кутузова, достаточную для победы во всей кампании. Последовавшее отступление русской армии после сражения было продиктовано стратегическими соображениями и в конечном итоге привело к поражению Наполеона. Наполеон говорил: "Из всех моих сражений самое ужасное то, которое я дал под Москвой. Французы в нём показали себя достойными одержать победу, а русские стяжали право быть непобедимыми... Из пятидесяти сражений, мною данных, в битве под Москвой выказано [французами] наиболее доблести и одержан наименьший успех".
