    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.

    Известный шахматный мастер и тренер Игорь Немцев открывает перед читателями совершенно новый дебют. Дебют Эльшада. Во все времена любители шахмат задавались вопросом, как победить более сильного или более квалифицированного соперника? Очевидно, что сделать это применяя классические дебюты, очень трудно, потому что уровень знаний невозможно поднять за короткое время. Но, начав применять новую, универсальную систему игры за черных, у вас это получится! И причина проста: оригинальность построения не даст вашему сопернику ни одного классического ориентира. Все предыдущие его знания о теории шахмат в данном дебюте не помогут! Особенно хороший результат ждет тех, кто будет применять этот дебют в рапид и блиц. Потому что в этих дисциплинах времени на “опровержение” дебюта Эльшада у соперника не будет вовсе.

В дебюте Эльшада уже повержены многие известные шахматисты. В этой книге приводятся победы над гроссмейстерами И.Наумкиным, М.Бродским, Р.Джумабаевым, А.Вулем, А.Кашлинской. “Когда я увидел этот шедевр фантазии шахматного мозга впервые, то был просто поражен... Я начал играть его на ICC и с очень даже неплохими резу- льтатами…”, - пишет об этом универсальном дебютном оружии в предисловии к книге международный гроссмейстер Игорь Коваленко, обладатель 17-го рейтинга в мире по быстрым шахматам. Для широкого круга любителей шахмат.
