Mastering Queen vs Pieces Endgames

by Efstratios Grivas

Part 4 of the Modern Endgame Manual deals with endings where a queen faces other pieces. Grandmaster Efstratios Grivas — a FIDE Senior Trainer and, since 2009, secretary of FIDE’s Trainers’ Commission — takes you through queen against queen and bishop, queen against queen and knight, and then the queen’s battles with a rook, with bishop and pawns, with knight and pawns, with bishop and knight, and finally with three minor pieces.
