how to play chess endgames book

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.

THE RIGHT EXCHANGE 105

9 g4! sLal

9 .. .lbe5?! 10 g5 and then:

a) 10 ... hxg5? 11 hxg5 lbd3 12 gxf6 lbxf4+ B

13 exf4 ..t>xf6 (13 ... gxf6? 14 f5+! +-) 14 lbg5

+-.

b) 10 ... lbd3 11 ltg4 (11 h5+!?) 1 l...sLb2

(11...sLal 12 ..t>h I ±) 12 h5+ ..t}f7 13 ..t>g3 ±.

10 ltcl sLb2 11 ltc2 ..tal 12 a4!? lbes 13

lbxeS+

White can no longer avoid the exchange, but

his attack continues unabated.

13 ••. ..txeS 14 ltf8 ltdd7?! 15 f4 'JJ.c7 (D)

Now there is nothing to be done against the

while attack. Only 20 ... g6 still offered any

chance.

21 ..t>f3 ID"7 22 !!.h8 es 23 ..tg4 exf4 24 !!.dS!

With the fatal threat of sLh5#.

24 ••• fxe3+ 25 ..t>g3 1-0

Exercise

(Solution on page 304)

16!!.d2

White evades the exchange, so as not to diminish

his attacking potential.

16 ... ..tcJ 17 !!.d6 ~h7 18 gS hxgS?

Further resistance was possible only with

18 ... g6.

19 hxgS sLb4?

An error, but his position was already very

difficult.

20!!.ddS? (D)

Missing a forced mate: 20 g6+! ! ..t>h6 21

sLf5 exf5 22 !l.h8#.

20 ... 'i&g6?

Is I b5 a good choice?
