A clear guide to the bishop and knight endings that decide so many games.Minor piece endgames – bishop versus knight, same-coloured and opposite-coloured bishops, and knight endings – occur constantly in practical play, yet many players handle them poorly. In this book from Everyman's Starting Out series, grandmaster John Emms explains the essential principles, typical techniques and practical rules of thumb that decide these endings, illustrating them with clear examples and the tips, warnings and notes characteristic of the series. It is an ideal way for club players to strengthen a neglected but vital part of their game. John Emms is an English grandmaster, a former British Championship contender and one of the most respected chess authors and trainers.
