Essential Chess Endings: The tournament player's guide

Essential Chess Endings: The tournament player's guide

Essential Chess Endings is an antidote to the traditional dry endgame book. It focuses on the kinds of positions which arise most often in practical play and gives guidance on how to tackle them. Chapters contain examples from actual games and then the principles are tested by exercises at the end of each chapter. Whilst endgame books traditionally only include examples of perfect play, what really differentiates this book is the mix of perfection and instructive errors which Howell uses to illustrate his points.
Grandmaster Howell covers all the basic endgames: king and pawn endings, rook and pawn endings (sub-divided into â€œpawns on one side of the boardâ€ and â€œpawns on both sides of the boardâ€), minor piece endings, pawnless endings and there is also a miscellaneous chapter dealing with â€œother endingsâ€.
This book is a must for anyone who would like to improve their practical endgame technique and score more points. Players of all strengths can benefit from it.
