Product Details

Chess players are known to be obsessed by openings. However, world champions have recommended that up-and-coming players should actually begin by studying the endgame first. This is because only by studying simplified positions can one fully develop an understanding of how chess pieces work - both in isolation and with each other. It is also the endgame where the true depth and subtlety of chess is revealed. In this instructive and entertaining book, renowned endgame expert Steve Giddins selects 50 of the finest examples of endgame play in the history of chess. Giddins examines each example in great detail and uses them to demonstrate the essential principles of high-quality endgame play. This book is full of essential guidelines and tips which all players should follow if they want to become a successful endgame player.

  • Giddins has written an entertaining and instructive book that should find a wide audience from club players right up to 2400. - John Donaldson: Jeremysilman.com/Chess Today
  • Because Giddins is such an enthusiastic guide - and rates highly as an astute curator too - an educational and entertaining experience is guaranteed. It's a fine book. - Paul Kane: Manchester Chess Federation
