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.

What is Black's best move?

E) The Knight in the Attack

The following example has similarities to the

attack with opposite-coloured bishops, since

White is operating mainly on the light squares.

Cvitan takes advantage of the unfortunate

position of the black bishop to unleash a very

dangerous attack:

1 @c3! bS 2 cxb6 cS

2 ... .!;te8? 3 .!;td4+ @e5 4 @c4 .!;tb8 5 lt::lc5 +-.

.!;tb8?

6 ... .!;th8 was indicated, but the attack cannot

be stopped; for example, 7 .!;te6+ 'ttxb7 8 @c4

White is attacking with just three pieces and

yet Black is in the utmost danger.

8 .!;th8?

8 @a7 was more tenacious, but White's ad-

vantage is not in doubt; for example, 9 lt::ld7

~b7 10 lt::lxc5 ~xc5 I I @xc5 ±.

by Etd7 and @a6.
