    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.

All tournaments and matches of the second half of Petrosian's chess career are presented, up to his last performances in 1983. The authors subjected 175 complete games and fragments to an in-depth analysis (using modern computers). Not all of them have been deeply studied and commented on before, but even then the book provides a significantly improved analysis. Among Petrosyan’s opponents – world champions and contenders Kasparov, Karpov, Fischer, Spassky, Tal, Smyslov, Botvinnik, Korchnoi and Bronstein, as well as Timman, Larsen, Reshevsky, Belyavsky, Polugaevsky, Portisch, Romanishin and many others.

    Более века не меркнет слава Пола Морфи. В свое время он вызывал восхищение не только блистательными победами, но и неукротимой фантазией, стремительностью атак, огнем комбинаций. Однако в наши дни наибольшее удивление вызывает гармоничность его игры. Морфи всегда был готов атаковать короля, но если позиция требовала иных действий, то он не отказывался от ведения борьбы в строгом позиционном стиле и от перехода в эндшпиль. Постоянное стремление Морфи к инициативе, неустанный поиск наилучшего хода, игра высокого накала производят глубокое впечатление. Эта книга повествует о творчестве этого замечательного шахматиста. Она состоит из двух частей. Первая - "Повесть о Морфи" (3-е изд.) известного шахматного мастера и писателя Евгения Загорянского, рассказывающая о жизни и творческом пути великого американского шахматиста. Во вторую часть вошли 69 лучших партий Морфи из книги выдающегося венгерского гроссмейстера Гезы Мароци "Шахматные партии Пауля Морфи" (пер. с нем. А. Ольшевского, Л.: Прибой, 1929).
    Рассчитана на широкий круг любителей шахмат.

    Peter Arsenyevich Romanovsky - one of the strongest Soviet masters of the 20s - 30s, a major chess teacher, the author of a number of valuable books on various issues of chess creativity, enjoyed a well-deserved success. His views have not lost their relevance today. Romanovskiy addressed the theme of the middlegamet twice. The first work under this title was published in 1929, when the whole world was under the impression of hypermodernism: it seemed that the `magic stone` of chess was found. The first `Mittelshpil` Romanovsky became the anthem of the new ideas of Nimzowitsch, Reti and other leading figures of the time. After many years, Romanovsky again wrote a book with the same name. By this time, the passion around hypermodernism had subsided, it is time to return to the unfading values created by the classics and romantics, and to give a new assessment of the accumulated ideological wealth in chess. The second book was published in two volumes (`Plan` and` Combination`), and the volume dedicated to the combination was published in soft binding and few people have survived to this day. This was the reason for his re-release.

    Современные секреты подготовки гроссмейстеров. Предисловие Г.Каспарова. В книге заслуженного тренера РСФСР и Грузинской ССР, международного мастера М.И. Дворецкого, воспитавшего целую плеяду мастеров высокого класса, обобщен опыт его тренерской работы. В своих анализах Дворецкий стремится не только выявить секреты конкретных позиций, но и вскрыть суть более общих, малоизученных пока явлений в шахматах: будь то, например, проблема подготовки к соревнованиям или даже принципы самого анализа. В главах об анализе отложенных позиций впервые, наверное, делается попытка проникнуть в самую суть такого анализа. Тема второй части книги - эндшпиль. В последнем разделе книги особенно интересны главы о разыгрывании позиций. Неординарное отношение ко многим вопросам современной теории и практики, попытка проникнуть в самую суть анализа, а также психологию творческого процесса делают данную работу весьма актуальной и полезной для шахматистов любой квалификации.
