ENDGAME PUZZLES

This book focuses on endgames. The major difference between middlegame and endgame calculation training is the limited material. It takes quite an art to develop the ability to calculate well in positions with little material on the board. Solving exercises is one step on the road to endgame mastery. Solving exercises in this book will also help the reader improve his understanding of endgames. Many a time, a well-trained calculation in the finals will help us lead a position to victory, or save one. Also, in this book, we will find and recall some of the famous positions from the old books that were found in tournament practice. There is a lot to learn from studying each solution. 394 examples from practical games played in 2021 have been selected. Most examples are from grandmaster practice, giving special weight to each example. Examples are determined by heaviness with the number of stars (from 1 to 5). Do not be surprised and depressed if some examples with fewer stars are more difficult for you. Finishes are a part of the game where you constantly learn and revise your knowledge. Read more
