    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.

    В своей новой книге известные гроссмейстеры, теоретики и тренеры предприняли попытку «объять необъятное»: выделить и раскрыть все наиболее важные вопросы стратегии шахмат, о которых должен иметь представление каждый грамотный шахматист. Тщательно отобранные и глубоко проанализированные партии и фрагменты представляют собой симбиоз классических, хорошо известных образцов и примеров из современной практики. Все приведенные партии и фрагменты разделены на три уровня сложности; каждую главу сопровождает список дополнительных материалов для самостоятельного изучения. Первый том состоит из двух частей: «Дебют» и «Миттельшпиль», во втором томе разбираются две другие темы: «Пешки – душа шахмат» и «Динамика». Книга адресована, в первую очередь, перворазрядникам и кандидатам в мастера, хотя и более опытные шахматисты наверняка найдут для себя немало полезных советов и рекомендаций. Эта работа может быть использована и как самоучитель, и как учебник для специализированных шахматных школ. Искусство оценивать одновременно значение различных позиционных, тактических и смешанных факторов приходит с опытом. Каким бы ни был ученик талантливым, только сыграв тысячи партий и проштудировав множество книг, он станет зрелым шахматистом. Таким игроком можно назвать лишь того, кто впитал в себя шахматную культуру и в состоянии не только нанести “шальной” удар, но и выдать цельную стратегическую партию. Глядя на практически любую позицию, опытный шахматист сразу выделяет важные нюансы – статические и динамические. Какие пешки и поля слабые, положение каких фигур необходимо улучшить, какие в позиции могут быть тактические мотивы и т.д. Надеемся, что наша работа поможет научиться оценивать позицию по множеству подобных признаков – для практических успехов это очень важно.
