Study brings wisdom. Practice brings perfection. Following the
highly acclaimed Mastering Chess Strategy and Mastering Opening
Strategy, this book completes a trilogy of strategy books by
Grandmaster and renowned chess teacher Johan Hellsten. In his new
work Hellsten focuses exclusively on endgame play and covers every
type of endgame: pawn, rook, minor piece and queen endgames. He
examines not only the many fundamental positions that everyone
needs to know, but also the key themes and characteristics of
successful endgame play, including activity, creating and
exploiting weaknesses, active and passive defence, fortresses and
technique. Just like his previous two books, Mastering Endgame
Strategy is a product of Hellsten's many years' work as a full-time
chess teacher and is specifically designed as part of a structured
training programme to improve strategic thinking. In addition to
the many examples there's an abundance of carefully selected
exercises which allow readers to monitor their progress and put
into practice what they have just learned. Following such a course
is an ideal way for players of all standards to improve. Although
designed mainly for students, this book is also an excellent
resource for chess teachers and trainers. *An essential course in
endgame strategy *Includes 500 examples and 240 exercises *Ideal
for both chess study and practice
