Endgame workshop - Principles for the practical player

This book centers on the endgame, though it proposes that a chess game is an organic whole, with every concept related. What happens earlier explains what happens later. The author explores essentials by mirroring his own workday lessons, treating ideas across phases as they apply. Standard positions, pratical techniques, helpful paradigms, memorable aphorisms, dependable rules of thumb, step-by-step algorithms, and comprehensive theories are all here, integrated by Bruce Pandolfini`s global sense for aptness and circumstance. Tested in thousands of actual private and classroom settings, Endgame Workshop is a fresh take on both reliably older concepts and cutting-edge new ones. In conversational ease, it instills insights for experienced players to firm up their grasp of fundamentals while enabling newcomers to overcome their endgame fears with the sangfroid of battle-ready veterans. Chess Master Bruce Pandolfini has been one of the most popular chess writers in the world for more than four decades. He has writtenon all apsects of the game.
