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.

... @b6 is often necessary, which further reduces

the scope of the bishop.

Tiviakov has systematically restricted the

bishop and now forces it to leave the g1-a7 diagonal:

Now Black will not be able to reach the a7-

dominated. l l...@c6 was necessary.

Now the black bishop must immediately rush
