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.

Or:

a) 2 f5?! h6 and the blockade on the dark

squares promises Black an easy draw.

Now White has the latent problem that he

cannot advance his e-pawn.

It is very important to know that the presence

of one or more extra g-pawns sometimes complicates

the defender's task considerably or even

makes it impossible. The defending king can in

this case be stalemated, after which the g-pawn

is forced to move and the 'ugly duckling' rook's

pawn turns into a knight's pawn 'swan'.
