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.

Can you?

El.12 */

At first sight Black seems to have

sufficient counterplay. But what is the

truth of the situation?

A3) Barriers

Naturally it is not only the major pieces that can

restrict the enemy king. Sometimes the other

pieces can erect an impenetrable barrier. We

shall deal with pawn-barriers in Chapter 11

('Fortresses'). Therefore here we shall examine

only the capabilities of the knight and bishop.

El.10 ***/

White to play and win.

Is Black (to move) lost?

/**

The entire c-file and the b3-square are

'mined', so that Black can make no progress.

For example, 1 ...@b3 2 lt:le4 fS 3 lt:lg3 f4 4 lt:le2
