    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 modern protection of Philidor is a very strong, strategically rich debut with a wide variety of pawn structures, which can become your primary weapon in response to 1.e4. As a rule, White studies this protection in the last place, because they have enough urgent problems in other open and half-open principles, and meanwhile, the game of "general considerations" is contraindicated here. How many times has it been that the whites, lulled by the "timid" appearance of the rival, unwittingly relaxed, began to act superficially and reminisced only when their party was already inevitably rolling under the slope! It is no accident that the protection of Filidor included in its repertoire dozens of leading contemporary grandmasters, including representatives of the elite. The new work of the well-known journalist, international master Vladimir Barsky is both a textbook and a reference: to quickly include the new scheme in the repertoire, it is enough to study the Brief Overview and sample games, and the section "Step by Step" will help to penetrate deeper into the secrets of the debut.

    A life-long Sozin devotee explains the subtleties of this aggressive system for White. The Sozin Attack is White’s most overtly aggressive counter to the Sicilian. White puts his bishop on c4, and often follows up with direct play against the black king. Unless Black defends with the utmost precision, the bishop’s influence often fuels a deadly attack leading to a cascade of sacrifices and a brutal king-hunt. The Sozin set-up can be employed against the Classical Sicilian, the Najdorf and even the Scheveningen. This book presents in detail the theory of the Sozin in all its forms, including the razor-sharp Velimirovic Attack.
