Everyone knows they should work on their endgame play. So many
hard-earned advantages are squandered in 'simple' endings... But it's
tough finding a way to study endings that doesn't send you to sleep and
that helps you actually remember and apply what you have learnt.
"While endgame theory books are helpful, active participation by the
reader is a great aid to learning. I hope that this book of endgame
exercises will encourage readers to put their brains in high gear, both
to test themselves and to learn more about the endgame. I have spent
several months selecting the 444 exercises in this book from what was
initially a much larger collection." - John Nunn
All major types of endgame are covered, together with a wide-ranging
chapter on endgame tactics. Examples are drawn from recent practice or
from little-known studies. The emphasis is on understanding and applying
endgame principles and rules of thumb. You will learn by experience, but
always backed up by Nunn's expert guidance to ensure that the lessons
you take away from the book are correct and useful.
