Chess Endgames 3 Major Piece Endgames
Amazing 7 hours on DVD!
The third part of the endgame series tackles queen endings, rook
against minor pieces, queen against rook and queen against two rooks.
Queen endings are not nearly as mysterious as they appear at first
sight. Knowing a few rules of thumb and principles will make things a lot easier for you. In the case of rook versus knight or bishop,
you should not only know how to draw a pawnless endgame, but also when
a fortress can be set up and when not. Something similar is the case
for queen against rook, except of course that when there are no pawns
the queen wins against the rook. In the duel against two rooks, further
aspects come into play such as the coordination of the rooks. Those who
have always found studying endgames with chess textbooks too dry and
tedious will enjoy this DVD with its comfortable training system and
benefit enormously – in brilliant endgames at the actual board.
Complete video running time: 7 hours.
