    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 2012 World Vice-Champion continues his story, begun in the best-selling books Positional Decision Making in Chess. ("Book of the Year" according to the English Chess Federation), "Dynamic Decision Making in Chess" and "Technical Decision Making in Chess." The new book discusses ways to make decisions in positions without minor pieces. The reader will get acquainted with rook and queen endings, as well as with what Romanovsky called the "fourth stage", that is, the late middlegame / early endgame, where only heavy pieces remain on the board. «Gelfand is very good– and very honest – explains what decisions he was able to calculate and what he had to make on the basis of general reasoning, and how he did it. This resulted in a book of the type that I love. A chess player of any strength can find a lot of useful things here. (Grandmaster Matthew Sadler, reviewer of novelties in chess literature in the magazine "New in Chess"). For a wide range of chess lovers.

    Это уникальный учебник для начинающих, написанный в форме увлекательной фантастической истории про марсианского мальчика, его бабушку, богиню шахмат Киасу и друга Сера. Скажем честно: ничего подобного в детской шахматной литературе ещё не было! Легкий стиль и занимательное изложение, внешне шутливая, но глубоко продуманная подача материала позволят даже самому непоседливому ребенку, не отвлекаясь, непринужденно освоить правила игры, помогут ему одерживать победы не только в шахматах, но и в жизни.С первых же страниц книги маленький шахматист узнаёт много нового, словно бы исподволь начинает чувствовать принципы взаимодействия фигур, осваивает важнейшие понятия игры: кратчайшая дорога, шахматное время, выигрыш темпа, двойной удар, защита и нападение, жертва и завлечение... Основной принцип изложения предельно прост: детям никогда не должно быть скучно! Именно таков волшебный ключик, который откроет перед вашим ребёнком дверь в загадочную страну шахмат. Будучи полностью выполненной в цвете, книга богато иллюстрирована замечательным детским художником Геннадием Соколовым, а потому может стать прекрасным подарком. Тираж первого учебника для начинающих – «От А до...», написанного Мариной и Сергеем ещё в 1995-м году, разошёлся очень быстро, однако эта книга до сих пор используется многими опытными тренерами как удобное учебно-методическое пособие. Коротко об авторах: Марина и Сергей Макарычевы – ведущие «Шахматного обозрения» на телеканалах «НТВ-плюс», «НТВ-мир» и «НТВ-Америка» – посвятили 15 лет развитию шахмат во всем мире, выпустив более 2000 телепрограмм, множество документальных фильмов и уроков.
