    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.

    The youngest first–grader in the USSR, the world champion among young men, a participant in the candidates tournament at the age of 19 - Boris Spassky's rise was rapid. And then fate gave the brilliant chess player a test of strength: he stumbled twice at the decisive moment and remained beyond the threshold of interzonal tournaments ... Only ten years after his first great success, Spassky managed to pass all the qualifying tests and earn the right to a match for the crown, but he failed to defeat the Iron Tigran Petrosian the first time. It took three more years of super–efforts: by Sisyphus he rose again to the foot of Olympus and did not miss a second chance - in 1969 he became the Tenth king of chess! An essay about the life of Boris Vasilyevich and his sporting path full of ups and downs was written by Dmitry Oleynikov, Candidate of Historical Sciences, curator of the Chess Museum of the Chess Federation of Russia. 70 beautiful and instructive games of Spassky were commented on by the champion of Russia in 1993, the famous author and theorist grandmaster Alexey Bezgodov, as well as grandmaster Dmitry Kryakvin and FIDE master Steve Giddins. The preface was written by the 14th world champion Vladimir Kramnik. For a wide range of chess fans.

    «The idea of continuing the autobiographical book “Steps” has been in the air almost since the moment it was written.

Bologan).  The book contains 75 games commented in detail and a number of fragments. A frank story about the life and professional path, about cooperation with the leading grandmasters and coaches of the world (among them - A. Karpov, G. Kasparov, Yu. Polgar, Zhu Chen, R.

    Из глубины тысячелетий дошли до нас первые произведения искусства - примитивные скульптуры и наскальные рисунки, или, как их называют специалисты, писаницы и петроглифы. Писаницы древние художники выполняли преимущественно красной охрой, а также черной, желтой и белой краской, а петроглифы - это изображения не нарисованные, а вырезанные на поверхности камня. Сегодня наскальные рисунки обнаружены в 120 странах и регионах мира - даже в Сахаре. Но самыми древними образцами палеолитического искусства считаются писаницы пещер Испании, Южной Франции и Италии - знаменитые цветные рисунки животных. Именно их репродукции, сделанные чешскими археологами, были положены в основу набора "Кроманьонские шахматы". Каковы были представления наших предков о животном мире более 15 тысяч лет тому назад? Об этом рассказывают фигуры - ожившие на доске наскальные изображения. Шахматные роли распределились следующим образом: "король" - мамонт, "ферзь" - шерстистый носорог, "офицер" - древний бизон, "конь" - один из видов древних лошадей, "ладья" - древний европейский тур, "пешка" - пещерный медведь. В реальности большинство из них были гораздо крупнее представителей современной фауны, но даже в таком миниатюрном варианте все эти давно вымершие животные выглядят настоящими монстрами. Можно сказать, "Наскальные рисунки" - своеобразный симбиоз древнейших искусств, писаницы и скульптуры, одновременно стильный и исторически точный. Законченность замыслу дизайнера Михаила Дашцэрэна придает используемый для резьбы материал. Фигуры вырезаны из темно-коричневого бивня мамонта, найденного в Кемеровской области, пьедесталами для них послужили срезы бивня мамонта из Якутии (белый цвет) и Кемеровской области (коричневый), а также срезы костей позднемеловых динозавров из Юго-Западной Монголии.
