100 ENDGAME PATTERNS YOU MUST KNOW - JESUS DE L...

If you are aware of endgame patterns  you spot key moves quicker  analyse and calculate better
avoid making errors and memorize what you have studied more fully.Most of the patterns Jesus de
la Villa presents in this new book are from the phase of the game just before a theoretical
endgame turns up. Knowing these practical endgame fundamentals will enable you to fully reap
the benefits of what you learned in De la Villas widely acclaimed classic 100 Endgames You Must
Know.Studying patterns only makes sense if you are going to encounter them frequently. De la
Villa presents those that have the greatest practical importance and explains and illustrates
them with carefully selected examples. To show the patterns as clearly as possible  he mainly
concentrates on positions in which both sides have just one piece. Presenting positions
withmore pieces risks blurring the picture and making motifs less straightforward.The fact that
players think in patterns has an important side-effect: their endgame errors tend to repeat
themselves. Thats why De la Villa has not just included examples from games of elite GMs but
also of amateurs. Errors are always instructive and working with this book will seriously
reduce the number of typical mistakes you are prone to make. The many practical exercises that
De la Villa has selected will help you improve and retain what you have learned.
