Synopsis

In the ending the advantage of a single 'insignificant' pawn can frequently prove decisive as that pawn inexorably pushes forward and is finally able to reach the last rand and transform itself into a queen. Despite this basic fact of chess that any beginner knows, pawn endgames are usually played very badly.The present work, already established as a classic in its Russian edition, is by far the most complete work on pawn endgames ever published. Containing no less than 911 examples, it will prove invaluable both to the student of chess and to the practical player.
