In this companion volume to Fundamental Chess Endings, Müller and Pajeken focus on the practical side of playing endgames. They cover all aspects of strategic endgames, with particular emphasis on thinking methods, and ways to create difficulties for opponents over the board.
Using hundreds of outstanding examples from modern practice, the authors explain not only how to conduct 'classical' endgame tasks, such as exploiting an extra pawn or more active pieces, but also how to handle the extremely unbalanced endings that often arise from the dynamic openings favoured nowadays. All varieties of endgames are covered, and there are more than 200 exercises for the reader, together with full solutions.
Major topics include:
Basic Principles and Methods
Activity
Schematic Thinking
The Fight for the Initiative
Prophylaxis and Preventing Counterplay
The Bishop-Pair in the Endgame
Domination
The Art of Defence
Typical Mistakes
Rules of Thumb
352 pages, large-format
