    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.

    A new large-scale project of a well-known journalist Sergei Voronkov is an attempt to understand what is hidden under the legendary brand "Soviet Chess School". In the USSR championships, beginning with the first All-Union Olympiad (1920) and ending with the last, 58th Allied Forum (1991), all the best chess players of the country, including eight world champions took part! That's why these tournaments, like the annual rings on the slices of trees, can trace the whole history of the development of Soviet chess. In his work, the author relies solely on documents: newspapers and magazines of past years, tournament bulletins, eyewitness accounts. That's why you are waiting for tales that are not full of mischief, but a lot of hitherto unknown facts, sensational finds and intriguing stories. Parties are also one more beautiful - only the best and most dramatic! Participants comment on them, in addition they were all subjected to computer testing "according to Kasparov." This volume is devoted to the first ten championships of the USSR (1920-1937). It included 107 selected "masterpieces and dramas" and 150 archive photographs and drawings.
