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.

Often it is a matter of fixing pawns on the colour

of the opponent's bishop.

la4!

White fixes the queenside, intending to target

the black pawns. At the same time, White

prevents Black from relieving his position by

pawn exchanges.

M. Taimanov - von Elst

USSR 1953

First White fixes f5 as a weakness, which simultaneously

restricts the bishop. After that he

wins by opening the queenside, which is a typical

application of the principle of the second

weakness.
