9789493257375: Endgame Strategy: The Revised and Expanded Edition of a Chess Classic

Synopsis

In this widely acclaimed chess classic, Russian trainer Mikhail Shereshevsky explains how to master the most important endgame principles. Where other endgame manuals focus on the basics and theoretical endgames, this book teaches the 'big ideas' that will help you find the most promising and most practical moves in any endgame. Even in endgames, it helps to think schematically instead of trying to calculate every move. To maximize your winning chances, this invaluable manual will teach you these lessons: Do not hurry, Centralize your king, Fight for the initiative, Exploit two weaknesses, Exchange the right pieces at the right moment. Endgame Strategy is considered to be one of the most important endgame manuals. In comparison with the 1981 publication, this new edition has been thoroughly revised and the author has added dozens of new and inspiring positions. The book is highly recommended by club players, coaches, and grandmasters alike. 'I especially read the chapter Do not hurry! with pleasure; not just because I agree with what he says, but more importantly because it defines the playing style of Magnus Carlsen,' said Grandmaster Simen Agdestein, long-time trainer of the Norwegian World Champion. Our partner website Chessable will publish an online (video) course based on the book on May 30, 2022.
