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.

Blb) The Bishops Inhabit

Different Worlds

In pure opposite-coloured bishop endings, fortresses

represent the main theme. Thus positional

nuances are frequently more important

than material.

Just waiting with I ... i.d4 2 h5 i.h8 3 h6

i.d4? would be fatal, since the white king will

sneak round the back: 4 h8W ~xh8 5 @h7 ~e5

I ... f5? 2 @g6 would be fatal.

After 4 ... ~e2 5 <;!;>h6 ~dl 6 h5 Black just

keeps waiting with 6 ... ~e2.

Peace broke out since White cannot break in:

6 ~a4+ @f8 7 h6 i.xf6 8 ~xf6 stalemate.

Fortresses which are based on the principle

of one diagonal are also very important.
