Synopsis

THE 100 MOST ESSENTIAL CHESS ENDGAMES EVERY CLUB PLAYER IS LIKELY TO ENCOUNTER IN REAL GAMES.

"This book presents the 100 most essential chess endgames — the basic endings every club player is likely to encounter in real games.
Learning how to handle these positions will help you win more games, and also save more games. Once you reach the stage where your results are no longer decided by simple tactical mistakes, the real challenge begins: converting your advantages with confidence.
With clear explanations and a structured, step-by-step approach, these 100 lessons form a complete endgame survival kit. You will learn:
• how to stay confident when the game transfers into an endgame
• how to exploit advantages you have gained in the middlegame
• how to avoid the frustration of failing to win clearly better positions
• how to approach simplification without uncertainty
Master these basic endings and they will serve you for the rest of your chess life. Study them carefully, and your technique — and your confidence — will improve forever."
