Mastering Queen vs Pieces Endgames
Mastering Queen vs Pieces Endgames is the fourth 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 Grandmaster Efstratios Grivas, is devoted entirely to the duel between the queen and various combinations of pieces.Across seven chapters, Grivas sets out to cover all the theoretical positions on this topic, illustrated with numerous practical examples that can arise in any game: queen versus queen and bishop, queen versus queen and knight, queen versus rook, queen versus bishop and knight, queen against minor pieces with pawns, and queen versus three minor pieces.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.
