CHESS ENDINGS

EUGENE ZNOSKO-BOROYSKY

How many chess players really know what to do in the end game?

More is demanded in this stage of the game than in any other, and

the knowledge and imagination that saw you through the opening

and middle game are just nOI enough to carry you through the !IHI

game also. You need a thorough knowledge of the prindples of

chess endings, and this book is an excellent introduction to those

principles.

World-famous thess teacher Eugene Znosko-Borovsky clearly ex

plains the importance of tempo. the rule of the triangle, the idea

of related squares, the power of the pa\\:n and king. and the versa

tility of the Took. Each piece is studied individually, and many

common end game situations are considered. Drawing on games

from such master players as Morphy, Marshall, SteillilZ, Capablanca,

Aiekhine, Lasker, and BOlvinnik. Znosko·Borovsky show� you how

to think during the end game no maHer what pieces )'ou may have

or what situation you may be in. Special consideration is given to

the theory of positional pia)', the conception and execution of a

plan, and the recognition of tactical opponunities.

Emphasis throughout the book is on understanding principles,

rather than memorizing moves, with the result that the reader will

be able to apply Zno�ko·Bor\isky·s techniques to almost any situ

ation that mal arise. The author's well-known clarity of exposition

makes this book most useful to a beginner or intermediate player.
