Endgame Elements Volume 1

This book is largely a spin-off from the more comprehensive book: Chess Endgames Explained, The Essential Techniques, by the same author.

However, it has been revised and up-dated to include an exercise section on evaluating and planning in king and pawn endings.

King and pawn endgames provide a rich and varied scope for a variety of plans. A good working knowledge of these endings is essential for the rounded club and tournament player.

This book examines typical endings that occur in practical play. The reader is introduced to a range of specialist techniques that provide insights and strategies that can be employed in these unique endgame situations.

A journey into the book’s recommendations will provide a wealth of ideas and methods that afford every opportunity to create winning positions in these king and pawn endings.

This book is an ideal entry point for the new player whilst offering the more experienced intermediate player a wealth of methods and techniques.
