Description: This chess book is in very good condition. It has a sticker price of $21.95. It was printed by Batsford. A new approach to the endgame. The authors, both experienced grandmasters and chess trainers, discuss the problems that players - from junior/club level to grandmasters - have in coping with the endgame. Standard endgame methods are explained, as well as typical techniques required in such tricky endings as rook and pawn, opposite-coloured bishops, rook and bishop v rook, etc. Examples from former world champion Anatoly Karpov's endgame practice are also provided as a model for correct play. An up-to-date endgame book with lessons to learn from recent tournament play and even computer intelligence.
