Mastery of the endgame is essential to progress in chess, but it is one of the most difficult skills to acquire. This book by National Master Eric Schiller takes you through a series of entertaining and instructional endgame studies step-by-step, showing all of the key ideas. The presentation is intended to make following the discussion simple by providing a diagram for every key position. The analysis is presented in ordinary language, without jargon or symbols, so that the ideas can be understood more clearly.
Practical endgame play is best studied by examining composed positions, because these positions have been worked out to perfection and there is only one clear path to victory. The moves are efficient, and the solutions are as short as possible. Each of the positions in this collection is natural, with pieces on squares that one would expect to find in normal tournament play.
Pawn promotion is one of the most important aspects of endgame play, and the positions in this collection all involve promotion in an important way. This unifying theme makes it easier to solve the positions, since it keeps the focus on promotion, while also displaying a great variety of tactical and strategic devices.
After completing the thirty lessons in this book, the reader can expect to see better in endgame play. Absorbing the recurring themes of these endgames will add significantly to the understanding of endgame dynamics. You will notice more resources in each game, and your horizons will be broad enough to spot many hidden tricks and subtle plans.
