After the opening and the middlegame, Gods have placed the endgame!
This book touches upon an important but rarely covered topic of "tactics in the endgame". Books on this subject are either rare or still not out there!
You are not alone if you have you lost games from winning positions because you did not spot your opponent's tactical shot. Or maybe you missed a tactic of your own? Inspite of your material advantage, you could not bring home the full point in the end? Practice is your only friend and coach.
This book aims to give you ample practice from tactical endgame positions to really convert that loss into a draw or a draw into a win! Watch out for the Knight forks. Check how other players sacrifice their valuable pieces to ensure the pawn promotes. Or the simplification tactics to win a won endgame!
Unlike other books which offer high number of generic puzzles, this book has carefully chosen and manually selected high quality puzzles from games played in year 2011-2013.
