Endgames often give rise to the most difficult and pivotal moments of a
chess game. In Sharp Endgames, International Master Esben Lund tackles
this crucial topic in a unique and innovative way, focusing on the 16
Parameters involved in this type of decision-making. The book contains
more than a hundred carefully chosen exercises, with solutions linked to
the 16 Parameters. The feedback is concrete and gives the player a clear
way to improve his or her understanding and skill. The exercises can be
played out against a partner or engine; the book even contains a
step-by-step guide explaining how to configure a chess engine for this
purpose. "Esben Lund has issued you a challenge: invest time and effort
in this book, and your chess results are going to improve - no matter
your current level. The question is: are you ready to accept the
challenge? I strongly encourage you to accept - you will not regret
it." - From the Foreword by GM Lars Bo Hansen
