Shereshevsky Endgame Strategy Pdf 27 ((EXCLUSIVE))

A bit sad that no endgame and puzzle books are worthy for the top-10. I would definitely rate a lot of new books to have better chances of making chess players stronger than many of the above books but of course the list only covers relatively old books.

A while back, I shared teaching methods with a fellow master. I mentioned how I use a heavy dose of tactics with my private students. We agreed on how valuable 1001 Winning Chess Sacrifices and Combinations is for novices. The other master admitted that he uses it frequently himself. It must work as he is currently our state co-champion. Puzzle books today don't only rely on combinations, but also endgame and positional problems like Alburt's 300 (I used this to help our team finish fourth out of 260 teams at the 1998 U.S. Amateur Team East behind Karpov's team). Lazlos Polgar's 2534 Combinations is great for novices. Chris Ward authored many puzzle books targeting novice to intermediate players. Two other challenging favorites are Nunn's Puzzle Book and Barden's Puzzle Book (retitled Batsford's Puzzle Book). A beginner should devour these books, because "One who understands combinations, then understands chess."

4. One Hundred Selected Games, Mikhail Botvinnik, Dover, DN. Game collection. The first player that I greatly admired was Bobby Fischer. The saga of how he annihilated everyone in his path. His 20 game winning streak was incredible. He was on a mission (a little Blues Brother Music). I watched Shelby Lyman explain his strategy and tactics on PBS in July and August of 1972.

3. Practical Chess Endings, Irving Chernev, Dover reprint of 1961 Simon and Schuster. Endgame. Irving Chernev is my favorite writer on chess. I learned the most about endings from PCE because solving problems was a lot more fun than the usual dry method. Chernev gives 300 White to play and win endgame studies. All but a handful of the problems, the student must be 100% accurate for the win. This teaches the student to calculate accurately plus all the endgame motifs, such as opposition, zugzwang, the square, bridging, triangulation, winning a tempo, counting a pawn race etc. Even the drawing lines are instructive

I enjoy endgame studies the same as puzzle books or combinations, mainly to stay in some chess shape. There is a plethora of good endgame books. Some of them are; How to Win in the Chess Endings by Horowitz, Chess Endings: Essential Knowledge by Averbach, Basic Chess Endings (revised by Benko) by R. Fine, Endgame Strategy by Shereshevsky, Mastering the Endgame volume 1 & 2 by Shereshevsky and Slutsky, The Survival Guide to Rook Endings by Emms and Essential Chess Endings by Howell.

The introduction also guides the reader on how to study the endgame: 1. knowledge of basic positions and their key variations and ideas must be known; 2. improving deep analytical skills; 3. development of intuition. This book concentrates on improving items 2 & 3 above. The author suggests how to best use the book by first analysing the endgames without a chess engine and/or tablebases to prevent lazy thinking by relying too heavily on engine assessments without understanding.

Despite the fact that the introduction claims that this book is not an endgame primer, there are a couple of excellent chapters on theoretical endgames. They are covered from a practical point of view and Gelfand draws out the key defensive ideas by concentrating on patterns and key positions. More on these chapters later. There are other basic endgame positions interspersed in other chapters which are reached from long variations but are nevertheless didactic as the theoretical endgames are shown in context within the whole endgame and the reader is clearly shown how these positions can be reached in practice.

The author makes the point that if white had known that the endgame was a draw, and knew a few general ideas, he would have probably drawn the game. But when you think it is lost, psychologically it is impossible to hold it, particularly in an increment finish. A lot of the top players do not think in terms of lost or not: they concentrate on looking for ideas (to make life difficult for the opponent).

The title of the chapter is self explanatory and Gelfand stresses the need to study complicated endgames in depth and understand all the nuances. There are some superb examples of brilliant analysis. Here is one such position where Gelfand did not discover the right idea until 2018:

The position below is the celebrated game Piket-Kasparov Internet 2000 because Kasparov misplayed a drawn endgame so badly. We must not be too hard on the former World Champion as it was a rapid game and Kasparov is a superb endgame player.

60.Rc6 a5 61. Rc5+ Kg6 62.Rxa5 f5 and black prevents the rook from reaching f8. This is obvious when one has knowledge of the basic endgame rook v 3 connected pawns shown above! The author has shown an excellent example of knowing your basics being applied to a real live game.

White did not play the endgame perfectly, and after many adventures this position was reached at move 87. Black is drawing here if he places his king in the drawing zone which is the far corner diagonally opposite where the g pawn is hoping to queen i.e. a1.
