Chess Endgames 1 Basic Knowledge for Beginners
Chess Endgames an Amazing 5.5 hours!
Endgame theory constitutes the foundation of chess. You realize this in
striking clarity once you obtain a won endgame but in the end have to be content
with a draw in the end because of a lack of necessary know-how. Such accidents
can only be prevented by building up a solid endgame technique. This is Karsten
Mueller's first DVD and the grandmaster from Hamburg and endgame expert, here
lays the foundation for acquiring such a technique. The first part of his
training series can be started without any endgame knowledge, only a knowledge
of the rules of chess is assumed. But for a lot of club players this course will
be a welcome brush up as a glance on the content confirms: The topics range from
elementary endings such as mating with the queen, with rook and with two bishops
and mating with bishop and knight.
The DVD also teaches the fundamentals of pawn endings, knight vs. pawns
endings, bishop vs. knight endings, queen vs. pawns endings plus knight and
bishop endings, including endings with bishop of the same and of opposite color.
Those who have always felt that studying the endgame from textbooks is to
uninspiring and too arduous, will enjoy this DVD and certainly profit from it.
Video running time: 5.5 hours. Including ChessBase 9.0 Reader.
