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.

5 a7.l::te7+ (D)

From the very first move, Black must hinder

the approach of the white king.

1 ...@c5!!

Not:

a) l...a5? 2 .l::th5! and the barrier is absolutely

deadly, since 2 ... a4 fails to 3 @f7 a3 4

.l::th3 a2 5 .l::ta3 +-.

b) 1 ...@b5? 2 @f7 a5 3 @e6 a4 4 @d5 (this

is the point; after l. .. @c5 this approach is not

possible) 4 ... @b4 5 @d4 @b3 6@d3 a3 7 .l::tb8+

The black king again prevents its opposite

number from reaching the c2-square.

6@a6! =

This final bodycheck by White ensures the

half-point.
