Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'New (4th) and improved edition of an all-time classic The good news about endgames is: • there are relatively few endings you should know by heart • once you know these endings, that's it. Your knowledge never goes out of date! The bad news is that, all the same, the endgame technique of most players is deficient. Modern time-controls make matters worse: there is simply not enough time to delve deep into the position. Jesus de la Vila debunks the myth that endgame theory is complex and he teaches you to steer the game into a position you are familiar with. This book contains only those endgames that: • show up most frequently • are easy to learn • contain ideas that are useful in more difficult positions. Your performance will improve dramatically because this book brings you: • simple rules • detailed and lively explanations • many diagrams • clear summaries of the most important themes • dozens of tests.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Endgames Made Easy This book has many diagrams. You do not need a chess set and board to read this book. It is designed to be read several times. Each time it is reread, you may grasp points that were previously obscure to you. The book draws from many examples that the author has used in years of chess coaching. Why this book? In recent decades a high proportion of endgame books are quite advanced. Many of these are great books. However many of these books presume good basic endgame knowledge, say that what you would expect of a played rated 2000 ELO or candidate master strength. Its my observation after many years of playing and coaching that average club players typically have major gaps in their basic endgame knowledge. This book is designed to help fill the gap. For the sake of completeness, some very basic knowledge is included, so that the book will be useful for novices as well as club players. To play endgames strongly you do not need to know thousands of positions. A good understanding of basic principles, knowledge of some key positions and the ability to calculate well will go a long way. Why learn endings? Some players make an interesting point, why study the ending if I don't get many? Well, there is lots of reasons. The number of endings will increase as general playing strength increases. This is because players increase their ability to survive middlegames. The number of endgames will also increase if playing more evenly matched opponents. If neither player makes tactical mistakes, then an endgame is very likely. Even if you don't have an ending, endgame study may create ideas useful for the middlegame, especially positional ideas. Because you have so few pieces, placement of the pieces becomes all that more important. More importantly, you will know what endings to aim for. In many games between good players, one or both players has had option to exchange into ending at some point. If your ending understanding is weak, how will you know when to exchange and when not to? Playing for an ending, is sometimes the best way to exploit a positional advantage in pawn structure. With fewer pieces on, active piece play is less likely to compensate for weak squares and weak pawns. The idea that endings are boring is a British Junior myth. Some of the greatest brilliancies are in endings. You only need to look at Chernev's Practical Chess Endings to confirm this. Endings should be learned backwards, knowledge will be built from earlier knowledge. Capablanca said endings should be learned first, then middlegames with respect to the endings, then the openings with respect to middlegame and endgame. Endings are the ultimate test, as they are the most removed from the initial position. Positions in this phase are more the result of what you created, than earlier phases, and are the most removed from the start position and memorised opening moves. Study in the ending tends to be more rewarding than studying other phases of the game. In 20 hours you could cover an awful lot on many endings, but in the same time you would be lucky to absorb one opening variation. Strength in the endgame, gives you great chance to come back from earlier reverses and good endgame players are good endgame swindlers. To get stronger as the game goes on, is a good feeling. To be a strong player you must be good at endgames. What this book includes. Topics include drawing, basic concepts, lone king endgames, pawn endings, pawnless endings, piece versus pawns, rook endings, minor piece endings, queen endings and other endings. There are summaries of key points of each section. See my authors page for information about my background and other books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexey Alexeyevich Troitzky (1866-1942) is considered to have been the greatest composer of chess endgame studies ever. To call him a genius is to trivialize his accomplishments, because there are many geniuses, but few can equal the output of Troitzky. In his lifetime, Troitzky composed more than one thousand chess endgame studies. Nobody really knows how many. In this work, published in 1937, he started an ambitious project to collect all of his creations together and then put them into order according to theme. In this, the first volume of the projected project, Troitzky presented in order endgames which either started with a queen or a rook already on the board or else with a solution that involved promoting a pawn to a queen or a rook. Looking at the section starting on page 259 entitled "Classification of Studies by Themes", one can see the logical ordering of this book. Previous reprints of this work have omitted 72 pages which include the analysis of the two knights vs. pawn endgames which Troitzky proved for the first time leads to a win for the two knights, depending on the position of the pawn. By removing this section, previous editors butchered the work, because many of these compositions end with a position involving two knights against a pawn. In these cases, Troitzky simply writes "And wins". To see how White wins one needs the section on two knights against pawn. Here is the complete work. Nowadays, the great sport has become trying to bust or "cook" by computer analysis the long established problems such as those in this book. However, Troitzky's compositions have stood the test of time more than those of other composers. Computers have a horizon beyond which they cannot see. Thus, endgame composition and analysis is one field where humans can still beat and perhaps will always be able to defeat even the most powerful computers. The problems in this book are truly fantastic. The solutions look impossible. Yet, what seems like many defenses are simply not there. Somehow there are no safe places where the king or queen can escape or there is a knight just in exactly the right spot to give a fork. It is good that the solutions come right after the problems, because nobody could ever solve them if the solutions were put in the back.
