Here... at long last... we have it. A new type of endgame book. A
book which explains how to handle those positions that frequently
occur in practical play but, curiously, are hardly ever the subject
of theoretical works.
Most endgame books rely upon recycling established theory on basic
positions, or concentrate on fantastical studies. This one is
different. Well known Grandmaster and endgame expert Glenn Flear
examines in depth all endgames which feature either two pieces for
each side, or two pieces against one.
Why is this an important subject? Because these situations arise
surprisingly frequently in practical play. For example, an
examination of any big database will reveal that the endgame of
rook and minor piece versus rook and minor piece arises in nearly
20% of games. That means that if you open with 1 e4, you are more
likely to reach one of these endgames than you are to face the
French Defence. And overall, every time you sit down to play a game
of chess, there is nearly a 50% chance that you will reach one of
the endgames covered in this book.
If you can handle such endgames well, your results will inevitably
improve. This book will show you how.
