Endgame theory teaches us two fundamental issues: First, how to
extract the maximum from a basic theoretical position with little
material, where the experts (from practice comprising thousands of
games) have reached definite conclusions. Second, the way in which
we can handle an endgame, depending on the material remaining on
the board, and the ideas and plans we should employ. This second
issue is significantly more difficult to master because, apart from
making full use of the first one (we must be aware of the possible
outcomes of the endgame in question) it is greatly influenced by
our experience and understanding, which are basically derived from
the images and impressions we have from related positions. A
primary role is played here by the effort we have invested in
studying. In middlegame theory, things are even tougher. We are
obliged to study various types of positions with specific strategic
and tactical attributes, so as to understand the underlying ideas
and be able to employ them ourselves in similar situations. While
players have studied these topics and acquired knowledge, it is the
application of this knowledge in practice that helps differentiate
between them. Chess is not a simple game. The purpose of this
series is to introduce the reader to advanced training concepts,
using the same methods of presentation and instruction that were
taught to great players by famous trainers that they have worked
with. The series will continue with the topic of "the Bishop Pair",
the first volume handled 'bishop endings' and we will examine how
to handle this "power of the sun" coupling.
