The first volume of John Nunn's major two-volume work on practical endgames.

Going beyond standard endgame texts, Dr Nunn shows how to apply knowledge of canonical endings to find the right methods in tricky over-the-board situations, even when they differ greatly from the idealized forms in traditional manuals. He identifies new and important motifs that recur in practical play, gives tactics a leading role, and corrects significant errors in previously published analysis. The focus is firmly on endings that are susceptible to concrete analysis – no composed positions – and ideas are explained in words rather than left as bare variations. This first volume covers general topics together with detailed treatment of pawn endings, queen endings and minor-piece endings. Dr John Nunn is a grandmaster, four-time Olympiad gold medallist and three-time World Chess Solving Champion.
