THE BEST ENDGAMES OF THE WORLD CHAMPIONS VOL 1 ...

Since the world chess champions excel in all areas of the game  it goes without saying that you
can learn the most not only from their skills in the opening and the middlegame  but also from
their superb handling of the endgame. Regardless of whether they were renowned tacticians or
excellent positional players - regardless of whether they analyzed their openings in depth or
played them more intuitively: it is completely out of the question that any of them could have
reached the highest title without perfectly handling the endgame.  In order to enable his
readers to learn from the world champions  the author has concentrated on their individual
'specialities' - such as Steinitz's skillful handling of the bishop pair  Lasker's art of
defense  Capablanca's use of the king  Alekhine's art of attacking in the 4th game phase 
Euwe's skillful use of passed pawns  Botvinnik's iron logic and long-term strategy  Smyslov's
meticulous rook endings and - last but not least - Tal's magic  which also often gave his
endgames an enchanting touch.  In addition  all sorts of 'evergreen classics' of the players
are offered  some of which appear in a new light thanks to current analyzes. The reader is also
given the ideal training opportunity of numerous exercises to put himself in the shoes of the
world champions and to look for solutions himself. Since the model of the '4 types of players'
(activist  pragmatic  theorist and reflector) is also discussed in the margin  additional
information can be obtained about the importance of this topic  especially in the endgame.  And
with this in mind  the Romanian GM and endgame expert Mihail Marin invites you in his foreword
not just to take a look at the most outstanding endgame achievements of the world champions 
but also to enjoy them.
