    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.

    With color illustrations. "Battle" was written by us back in the 60's. Then we worked together a lot. But they did not publish us. What we did did not fit into the framework of the then censorship. Already in emigration we published almost everything written before, still in Russia, and this poem was still lying forgotten before my acquaintance with Boris Spassky. Our meeting happened in the house of artist Vitaly Statsinsky at the feast, and then I remembered it and sang it. Then the idea to release it with illustrations of Vitaly was born. In admiration for getting to know my old "idol" I wrote to the grandmaster an initiation - and here is the poem in front of you ... " Alexey Khvostenko
