This is an endgame manual with a difference. As soon as a topic has been
introduced and a few basic ideas discussed, you are immediately invited to
immerse yourself in the subject by solving a series of relevant positions. The
solutions to these positions feature a wealth of practical advice and further
discussion of endgame principles and the key theoretical points. All the main
types of endgames are covered: pawn endings, minor-piece endings, rook endings
and queen endings. Rosen discusses important elements in endgame strategy, such
as pawn-structure, passed pawns, space advantage, breakthrough and Zugzwang.
Endgames are often highly tactical, and this is reflected throughout this book
in exercises that require precise calculation, and in sections devoted to
typical tactical themes. There is a wealth of exercises throughout the book.
Bernd Rosen is a highly qualified trainer who writes a regular column in a
German chess magazine. He gained his FIDE Master title in 1987 and has played in
the German Bundesliga for many years.
