About this product
 
Basic Chess Endings, written by International Grandmaster Reuben Fine, is the most authoritative reference on the endgame.  Serious students of the game find the work unmatched in its depth and range.  Now, Grandmaster Pal Benko has revised this classic with the latest innovations in the endgame and adapted the book to algebraic notation.  The result is what chess aficionados have been eagerly awaiting--a thoroughly modern bible on basic chess endings.
 
A handy guide for the practical player, Basic Chess Endings focuses on the aspects of the ending that occur most frequently in the course of play.  With clear language, it reinforces knowledge of the standard position and tried-and-tested rules.  Hundreds of diagrams make examples easy to follow.  An indispensable reference for every chess player.
