Beschreibung

Everyone knows they should work on their endgame play. So many hard-earned advantages are squandered in "simple" endings... But it´s tough finding a way to study endings that doesn´t send you to sleep and that helps you actually remember and apply what you have learnt.

"While endgame theory books are helpful, active participation by the reader is a great aid to learning. I hope that this book of endgame exercises will encourage readers to put their brains in high gear, both to test themselves and to learn more about the endgame. I have spent several months selecting the 444 exercises in this book from what was initially a much larger collection." - John Nunn

All major types of endgame are covered, together with a wide-ranging chapter on endgame tactics. Examples are drawn from recent practice or from little-known studies. The emphasis is on understanding and applying endgame principles and rules of thumb. You will learn by experience, but always backed up by Nunn´s expert guidance to ensure that the lessons you take away from the book are correct and useful.
