Endgames involving only kings and pawns are the most fundamental of
all chess positions, and a firm understanding of them is required
in order to become confident of tackling more complex endings that
preceded them. In this easy-to-read guide, Grandmaster and
distinguished endgames expert Glenn Flear focuses on the very
basics of pawn endings. Beginning with the simplest of positions
and only gradually working through to more challenging material,
Flear outlines the key principles and rules, and demonstrates how
these work in practical examples. As one of the priorities of such
endings is to promote pawns to queens, Flear additionally deals
with queen endings that arise naturally from the simpler form. As
is commonplace with the renowned Starting Out series, there are an
abundance of notes, tips and warnings throughout the book to help
improving players. Starting Out: Pawn Endgames is perfect for those
who have previously honed their chess skills with the earlier books
