'And the rest is a matter of technique' is an annoyingly common
phrase used in chess literature. The implication from the author is
that the task of converting a typically winning position into a
full point or converting a drawing position into half-a-point is
relatively straightforward. However, as all of us practical players
realize, it's not always as simple as this, and many hard-earned
points are wasted through 'a lack of technique'.
In this valuable book Jacob Aagaard aims to solve this perennial
problem. He arms the reader with several endgame weapons that every
strong technical player has in his toolbox. These include important
skills such as schematic thinking, domination, preventing
counterplay, building fortresses and utilizing zugzwang. These
tools are illustrated in deeply analyzed games containing numerous
different themes. A serious study of this book will ensure that the
reader no longer need fear the word 'technique'!
