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.

96 How TO PLAY CHESS ENDGAMES

G) The Defender Exchanges

Pawns, the Attacker

Pieces

In a rook ending, this important rule is very often

relevant, since pawn exchanges are, along

with the activation of the rook, one of the most

important defensive techniques.

Again Black relies on exchanging pawns.

J.Hellsten - N.de Firmian

Bermuda 1997

Black will try to exchange as many pawns

as possible, at the same time activating his

king:

1 ... gS! 2 hxgS?!

This falls in with Black's wishes. 2 h5!? was

more promising, avoiding exchanges and restricting

Black's king.

2 ... hxgS 3 l;!c2 ~g6 4 f3 fS! (D)

Black has achieved his goal, because "the

small and weak pawn-mass offers no winning

chances." (Hecht in CBM).
