    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.

    This book is the most comprehensive collection of chess works by Emanuel Lasker today in the world. In addition to the often published TEXTBOOK OF THE CHESS GAME and the rarer but known work, THE RIGHT SENSE IN THE CHESS, it includes the CHESSES OF CHESS KNOWLEDGE and LESSONS WITH THE BEGINNINGS - the works today are completely inaccessible. Lasker's influence on the chess world is enormous, his sporting superiority over his rivals was so implausibly great that contemporaries could not find this reasonable explanation. Some explained his success with luck, others even suspected hypnosis! Only today many of the methods used by Lasker in his chess practice became clear, although he, as a true scientist, directly expressed his views in printed works. Lasker's books are necessary for everyone who wants to understand chess and achieve success in them. Special hard "puffy" binding.

    "Школа шахмат" - сборник трудов тренера высшей категории, подготовившего чемпиона мира среди юношей, автора "Шахматного учебника", объединенных темой совершенствования мастерства юных шахматистов. Через всю книгу красной нитью проходит основная идея шахматного спорта - борьба. Подчеркивается важность развития личностных качеств - желание победить соперника, уверенность в себе, душевное равновесие, объективность, работоспособность, гармоничное здоровье. "Подготовка юных и лечение "детских болезней"" - статья по методике преподавания шахмат и анализу ряда проблем, возникающих у детей-шахматистов на пути от новичка до мастера, и способов их преодоления. "Куда идет король" - учебно-методическая работа по теме, которая часто является "ахиллесовой пятой" юных разрядников, - игре королем. "Как победить сильного" - анализирует необходимые условия для воспитания успешного спортсмена-шахматиста и тренерские проблемы. "Шахматная школа в этюдах" - заключительный труд автора по использованию этюдов для повышения мастерства шахматистов-разрядников. Из почти 70 тысяч известных в мире шахматных этюдов для этой книги отобраны около трехсот - поучительных для шахматистов-практиков.

В каждой главе сначала приводятся подробно прокомментированные этюды с типичными и важными идеями по каждой теме для разбора читателем, а также ряд этюдов для самостоятельного решения.
