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 following example is even clearer, since

the attacker also has the bishop-pair (more on

this mighty weapon in Chapter 9):

Black has a pleasant advantage, although

one that should not be sufficient for victory

against precise defence. He is clearly superior

on the light squares and can easily activate his

king.
