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.

White probably expected 1..Jigl. In the end

this activation leads nowhere and White copes

pretty easily; for example, 2 @e3 Iixg3 3 @f2

l=!h3 4 @g2 1;txh4 5 @g3 g5 6 fxg5 Iia4 7 g6

Iia8 8 g7 :rig8 9 ~e4 +-.

2©xc4?!

2 @d4!?I!.gl 3 I!.g7 I!.xg3 4 ~xh5 lt::lf8 5

~e2 +- would be better technique.

2 ... ~1

Now at least the rook can no longer be so

easily trapped and the knight can come into

play.

3 I!.g7 1;txg3 4 ~xhS lt::lb6+ 5 'i&d4 lt::lxd5 6

gxg6+ l;:!.xg6 7 ~xg6 lt::lxf4 (D)

Exercises (Solutions on pages 341-2)

How could White have saved the game?

B

So far White's handling of the game has

been irreproachable from an objective point of

view, but he has allowed a series of exchanges

all of which have helped Black. The upshot is

that now, because of his wrong rook's pawn,

White has to find a unique winning move.

8 hS?

Allowing a study-like solution. 8 ~d3! retains

the c-pawn and ensures the win; for example,

8 ... lt::le6+ 9 @e3 @e5 IO h5 @f6 11 h6

lt::lc5 12 c4 lt::lb3 13 ~c2 lt::la5 14 c5 lt::lc6 15

~e4+-.

8 ... lt::le2+9@d3

9@c4@e7 = (9 ... lt::lxc3? 10 h6 +-).

9 ... lt::lxc310 h6 lt::ld511 @e4

11 h7 lt::lf4+ 12 @e4 lt::lxg6 13 @f5 lt::lh8 14

@f6 @d7 15 @g7 @e7 16 @xh8 @f7 stalemate.
