Sharp Endgames by Esben Lund
Endgames often give rise to the most difficult and pivotal moments of a chess game. In Sharp Endgames, International Master Esben Lund tackles this crucial topic in a unique and innovative way, focusing on the 16 Parameters involved in this type of decision-making. The book contains more than a hundred carefully chosen exercises, with solutions linked to the 16 Parameters. The feedback is concrete and gives the player a clear way to improve his or her understanding and skill. The exercises can be played out against a partner or engine; the book even contains a step-by-step guide explaining how to configure a chess engine for this purpose. Esben Lund has issued you a challenge: invest time and effort in this book, and your chess results are going to improve - no matter your current level. The question is: are you ready to accept the challenge? I strongly encourage you to accept - you will not regret it. - From the Foreword by GM Lars Bo Hansen"I cannot speak highly enough of Lund's work hereSharp Endgames is the first major title I have seen that outlines a thoughtful strategy for training against an engine, and Lund makes a persuasive case for the practical importance of such activity… a deeply original effort, and every player over 2000 should strongly consider the ideas in Sharp Endgames for their own training." - John Hartmann, Chess Life
