    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.

Chess textbook 1946-1990

  • book

    Dieses Buch bringt 150 Schachstudien aus der Werkstatt des Verfassers und einen Beitrag zur Theorie des Studien-Schachs. Die gebotenen Aufgaben stellen eine Auswahl aus den mehr als 300 bisher in verschiedenen Tageszeitungen des In- und Auslandes, in der „österreichischen Schachzeitung“, im „Schach-Magazin“ und vor allem in der „Deutschen Schachzeitung“ erstmalig veröffentlichten Studien dar. Arbeiten, deren Ursprünglichkeit dem Autor nunmehr zweifelhaft erscheint oder deren Inhalt ihn nicht mehr befriedigt, wurden nicht berücksichtigt. Und wäre der Verfasser nicht auf den Widerstand befreundeter Experten gestoßen, er hätte so manche Aufgabe von der Wiederveröffentlichung gleichfalls ausgeschlossen. An den ausgewählten Studien wurden, wo erforderlich, Änderungen, Erweiterungen und auch Richtigstellungen vorgenommen. Psychologische Gründe machten es ratsam, mit wenigen Ausnahmen auf die Wiedergabe allzu weitläufiger Aufgaben zu verzichten und in einer gewissen Ausgewogenheit neben schwieriger lösbaren Studien auch leichtere zu bringen und damit der Erfahrungstatsache Rechnung zu tragen, dass der überwiegende Teil der Löser von sehr schwierigen und reichlich verzweigten Aufgaben nicht angezogen wird. Weiter wurde die persönliche Vorliege des Autors für Turmspiele einigermaßen gezügelt und überhaupt manches versucht, Einseitigkeit zu vermeiden
