Book synopsis

This book is largely a spin-off from the more comprehensive book: Chess Endgames Explained, The Essential Techniques, by the same author.

A section on endgame planning is also included from the afore mentioned book.

Queen endgames present a challenge even to the highest rated players.

In these endgames calculation and visualisation skills are put to the test. As too is endurance, stamina and the will to win.

If we find ourselves in a queen v queen and pawn ending there are various methods known to theory for winning and drawing. The Philidor Position is just one example.

The same applies to queen v rook endgames. There is theory to cover both of these nuanced endgame scenarios.

In a queen v king and pawn endgame there are four pawns that the queen will win against, and four that the king can expect to draw with. Do you know what these are?

This book examines the known theory regarding queen endgames and puts forward some original computer generated suggestions and techniques.

Queen endgames, such as those mentioned, do not occur on a frequent basis, but when we do encounter them we will be much better placed, and far more informed if we are well versed in the theory surrounding these peculiar settings.

This book provides the player with an opportunity to enter these endings with an edge, and can give you the means to win, or the means to stave off defeat.

This is an ideal entry point for the new player, and offers sound advice and insights to the more seasoned intermediate player.
