Several such lessons form an opening theme, and the examination of each theme concludes with exercises. In each opening, attention is drawn to its characteristic tactical and strategic ideas of combinations for independent solution strictly corresponds to the opening theme.

    Basic chess endings
    Author:
    Fine

    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.

    0.00 $

    RUB

    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.

    Белые фигуры: бивень мамонта; Чёрные фигуры: бивень мамонта; Шкатулка и доска (массив венге). Идеальное состояние (новые) Роскошный VIP-подарок. Стаунтон (англ. Staunton) - это стандартный дизайн шахматных фигур, созданный в середине 19 века Натаниэлем Куком. Свое название данный дизайн шахмат получил в честь известного английского шахматиста Говарда Стаунтона, жившего в 19 веке. Организация FIDE рекомендует шахматы Staunton для соревнований, проводимых под своей эгидой. До середины 19 века в каждой стране Европы, где проводились шахматные турниры, существовали свои традиционные стандарты дизайнов шахматных фигур (Barleycorn, Calver, Selenus, St. George, Lund, Regence, и др.), что, несомненно, было весьма неудобно во время международных соревнований. Шахматы Staunton Натаниэль Кук зарегистрировал 1 марта 1849 года, однако, в этом же году права на данный дизайн шахмат перешли к Джону Жаке, который являлся братом жены Натаниэля Кука и владел фирмой John Jaques of London, специализировавшейся на изготовлении и продаже спортивного инвентаря. Первый комплект шахмат дизайна Staunton появился в продаже 8 сентября 1849 года. Тогда же известное в то время периодическое издание "The Illustrated London News" напечатало рекламную статью, где указывалось, что сам Говард Стаунтон является одним из создателей этого замечательного дизайна шахматных фигур. Существует версия, что статью и написал известный шахматист, так как впоследствии он самым активным образом содействовал продвижению этого комплекта шахмат на рынке. Под крышкой шахматных досок первых комплектов Staynton красовалась факсимильная подпись Говарда Стаунтона, и к набору, в качестве рекламы, бесплатно прилагалась одна из его книг. Однако, существует предположение, что настоящим автором дизайна Staunton является Джон Жаке, а Кук только зарегистрировал его на себя и впоследствии привлек Говарда Стаунтона к продвижению шахмат на рынке. В 1940 году немецкая авиация разбомбила фабрику John Jaques of London. Исторические эскизы и рисунки шахматных фигур Staunton сгорели в огне. Первые комплекты шахмат Staunton вырезались из слоновой кости или твердых пород древесины (например, самшита). В дальнейшем их стали создавать из бивня мамонта и разных ценных пород деревьев, таких как венге, эбен, самшит и др. Мы занимаемся изготовлением шахматных фигур более 15 лет. За это время нами разработаны уникальные технологии по обработке бивня мамонта и древесины. Мы можем изготовить любые шахматные фигуры из нашего каталога или по Вашим фотографиям и эскизам.
