A Matter of Endgame Technique (hardcover)

The most hated cliché in chess is: And the rest is a matter of technique. In "A Matter of Endgame Technique", Grandmaster Jacob Aagaard deals with one of the few things that chess players hate even more: losing a winning position. Every chess player has had occasion to ruin hours of hard work in a few minutes...

"A Matter of Endgame Technique" offers an in-depth explanation of the underlying patterns of how and why we play poorly in winning endings. At just under 900 pages, this hardcover book is actually six books in one, explaining the technical and practical areas of chess finals in a clear, simple and deep way. This book has to see the ways to achieve the goals and lacks material to memorize.
