To maximize your winning chances, this invaluable manual will teach you these lessons: Do not hurry, Centralize your king, Fight for the initiative, Exploit two weaknesses, Exchange the right pieces at the right moment. Endgame Strategy is considered to be one of the most important endgame manuals. In comparison with the 1981 publication, this new edition has been thoroughly revised and the author has added dozens of new and inspiring positions. The book is highly recommended by club players, coaches, and grandmasters alike. I especially read the chapter Do not hurry! with pleasure; not just because I agree with what he says, but more importantly because it defines the playing style of Magnus Carlsen, said Grandmaster Simen Agdestein, long-time trainer of the Norwegian World Champion. Our partner website Chessable will publish an online (video) course based on the book on May 30, 2022.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49745496801553,"sku":"NGR9789493257375","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49886514610449,"sku":"GOR013807125","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51475009143057,"sku":"CIN9493257371G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51758061879569,"sku":"NIN9789493257375","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9493257371.jpg?v=1751066317"},{"product_id":"shereshevsky-method-to-improve-in-chess-book-mikhail-shereshevsky-9789056917647","title":"The Shereshevsky Method to Improve in Chess","description":"In 2014 the Russian Chess Federation started a wide-ranging programme aimed at the revival of chess in Russia.

How can a modern chess student avoid drowning in the flood of information? The answer is to stop mechanically memorizing moves and turn on your curiosity. Try to create a vivid image of the technique you are studying and remember it as an association!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDuring a game of chess, we have associations all the time. We are not talking about specific pawn structures, but about more abstract things. What is the best interaction between knight and pawn? Where should the rook be placed - behind the passed pawn or to the side? On which squares should you place your pawns when you have a bishop against a knight? Generations of chess players before us have answered these and similar questions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShereshevsky clearly shows that studying the games of great chess players will help you to improve your associative thinking, especially when the comments come from the players themselves.
