A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

No less an authority than World Chess Champion Gary Kasparov has remarked on his fondness for chess studies, adding, "The time I take to solve studies tests my sporting form, and I use many ideas in practical play." Utilizing new notation, this completely updated and revised introduction to endgame studies, written by a pair of experts, offers a series of invaluable training exercises. Three diagrams accompany each clearly worded study.
