{"product_id":"fundamental-chess-endings-book-karsten-muller-9781901983531","title":"Fundamental Chess Endings","description":"In a major event in chess publishing, two German endgame experts have produced a masterly one-volume encyclopaedia that covers all major endgames.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the first truly modern one-volume endgame encyclopaedia. It makes full use of endgame tablebases and analytical engines that access these tablebases; where previous authors could only make educated guesses, M ller and Lamprecht have often been able to state the definitive truth, or get much closer to it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew time-controls involve competitive games being played to a finish in one session, so it is especially important that chess-players understand the key endgame principles. This book provides comprehensive assistance for any players wishing to study the endgame. In addition to a feast of detailed analysis, the authors emphasize the practical side of endgame play, describing rules of thumb, principles, and thinking methods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFundamental Chess Endings\u003c\/i\u003e is both the ideal endgame reference work, and a work that can be read from start to finish. Notably, this very book was studied intensively by current World Champion Magnus Carlsen in his youth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKarsten M ller\u003c\/b\u003e is a grandmaster from Germany who competes regularly in the Bundesliga and in international events. He finished third in the German Championship in 1996, and was runner-up in 1997. He is a noted authority on both practical and theoretical endgames. \u003cb\u003eFrank Lamprecht\u003c\/b\u003e is also from Germany, and is an international master. He has been a chess trainer since 1983 and was also co-author (with Karsten M ller) of the highly acclaimed \u003ci\u003eSecrets of Pawn Endings\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49738204315921,"sku":"NGR9781901983531","price":26.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49758466244881,"sku":"CIN1901983536G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50187134042385,"sku":"CIN1901983536VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50245661884689,"sku":"CIN1901983536A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51054953529617,"sku":"NIN9781901983531","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52108651331857,"sku":"GOR005928493","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53177135104273,"sku":"GOR006487550","price":39.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1901983536.jpg?v=1751380158","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/products\/fundamental-chess-endings-book-karsten-muller-9781901983531","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
