Mastering Minor Piece Endgames. Part 1
Mastering Minor Piece Endgames. Part 1 is the second volume of the Modern Endgame Manual, the first FIDE-approved endgame manual, written by three of the world's leading experts — the FIDE Senior Trainers GM Mikhalchishin, GM Grivas and GM Balogh. This volume, by Grandmasters Csaba Balogh and Adrian Mikhalchishin, is devoted to bishop endgames.Bishop endgames are usually extremely tricky: there are perhaps not so many theoretical positions to learn, but a great many in which the result stays unclear until the very end of a practical game. This is especially true of opposite-colored bishop endgames, where small nuances can decide the outcome. Across four chapters, the authors cover bishop versus pawns, same-colored bishop endgames, opposite-colored bishop endgames, and a selection of unusual practical games.It is part of an eight-volume collection that spans the full range of endgames, from king and pawn endgames to the most complex and materially unbalanced ones. A work aimed at intermediate and advanced players who want to sharpen their technique in minor piece endgames.What you will find in this book:Bishop versus pawns.Same-colored bishop endgames.Opposite-colored bishop endgames, where the nuances decide.A selection of unusual practical games.
