It has been said that endgame studies are the poetry of chess. Combining thematic beauty with practical application, studies are easily appreciated by players of all strengths. Here, for the first time, is the complete collection of one of the great endgame study composers of all time - Genrikh Kasparyan (Heinrich Kasparjan). All that remains is for the reader to add his own admiring adjectives to the paeans of praise that Kasparyan's win and draw positions have evoked from their adoring public since he first started composing many decades ago.A short acquaintance by the reader with what this multi-talented and modes man, an over-the-board master who in his day held his own with Botvinnik, composed, soon exerts its spell and explains why Kasparyan composed studies his entire life.
