Grandmaster Edmar Mednis, a world expert on the endgame, shows how to proceed in the minimum number of moves from the opening to a favorable endgame, essentially bypassing the middlegame. He discusses 11 different openings, including both open and closed systems, in each case explaining the best routes to particular endgame positions. These positions are then analyzed, using master games to illustrate various winning plans. Because of the clear exposition of endgame principles, the student will learn not only about these specific positions, but also about endgame play in general.

Should I simplify to an ending or not? This is one of the hardest practical questions that chess players have to answer in their own games. Grandmaster Mednis, one of the world's leading endgame experts, explains the key positional and psychological factors involved in this decision and how to proceed once a simplification has been carried out. This book will help win your 'won' games and draw 'lost' ones!
