It makes full use of endgame tablebases and analytical engines that access these tablebases; where previous authors could only make educated guesses, M ller and Lamprecht have often been able to state the definitive truth, or get much closer to it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew time-controls involve competitive games being played to a finish in one session, so it is especially important that chess-players understand the key endgame principles. This book provides comprehensive assistance for any players wishing to study the endgame. In addition to a feast of detailed analysis, the authors emphasize the practical side of endgame play, describing rules of thumb, principles, and thinking methods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFundamental Chess Endings\u003c\/i\u003e is both the ideal endgame reference work, and a work that can be read from start to finish.
