by Grandmaster Jacob Aagaard
Paperback / softback
Description
"And the rest is a matter of technique" is an annoyingly common phrase used in chess literature.
The implication from the author is that the task of converting a typically winning position into a full point or converting a drawing position into half-a-point is relatively straightforward.
However, as all of us practical players realize, it's not always a simple as this, and many hard-earned points are wasted through "a lack of technique". In this valuable book Jacob Aagaard aims to solve this perennial problem.
He arms readers with several endgame weapons that every strong technical player has in his toolbox.
These include important skills such as schematic thinking, domination, preventing counterplay, building fortresses, and utilizing zugzwang.
These tools are illustrated in deeply analyzed games containing numerous different themes.
A serious study of this book will ensure that readers need no longer need fear the word "technique"! *Ideal for club and tournament players *Includes all the principal tools of technique *Written by an experienced endgames expert
