    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.

    Две книги по цене одной: 1) Дебют ферзевых пешек (том 1). 2) Дебют ферзевых пешек (том 2). 1)В этой книге многое сделано впервые. Впервые (по крайней мере на русском языке) дан подробный и качественный анализ системы Вересова. Впервые карта мин и ловушек в "садово - парковом" гамбите Блэкмара-Димера предстанет перед читателем в полном формате, без купюр. Оригинальная идея Литвиненко также не осталась без вдумчивого и кропотливого анализа, выносимого на читательский суд. От читателя по большому счету требуется только одно: желание. Желание избежать заезженных вдоль и поперек схем ферзевого гамбита, желание попробовать что-то новенькое. Прочь, шаблонная игра! Если таковое желание есть - первый том монографии "Дебют ферзевых пешек" станет незаменимым помощником на пути к яркому творческому эксперименту. И победам! 2)Классика классике рознь. Есть классика музейная, наподобие тех мертвых языков, которые все еще изучают, но на которых уже никто не говорит. А есть классика живая, вечно обновляющаяся; есть "языки", на которых каждое следующее поколение "говорит" по-своему, обогащая и передавая своим потомкам. Шахматы в целом и теория дебютов в частности не являются исключением из общего правила. Дебютные системы, названные в честь Цукерторта, Торре, Колее, были актуальны сто лет назад - и не потеряли своей актуальности доныне. Сильнейшие гроссмейстеры нашего времени проверили их "лазерным лучом" мощных компьютерных программ. Ненужное отбросили, полезное закрепили, сделав пригодным для массового изучения и использования. Об этом - второй том монографии "Дебют ферзевых пешек". Дебюта, который не устареет никогда.
