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.

In the present position the immediate I

when the black knight is annoying. With this

variation in mind, the right idea is easy to find:

Depriving the knight of the g4-square.

The next example is more difficult:

B) Mysterious Rook Moves

Of course, rooks normally belong on open fi Ies.

But sometimes it is better to deploy them on

files which either you or your opponent will

soon open.

Without ... a4 Black will get bogged down,

so ...

Now White's queen's rook is ideally placed,

since it combines both attack and defence. With

precise play White was able to hold the position.
