{"product_id":"starting-out-john-emms-9781857443592","title":"Starting Out: Minor Piece Endgames","description":"Endgames with kings, bishops, knights, and pawns are generally considered among the most complex and can seem quite bewildering to improving players. This is hardly surprising given that even Grandmasters have been known to struggle in some areas of these endgames, with some examples resulting in embarrassing failure to deliver elementary checkmates! In this user-friendly book, Grandmaster and notable endgame authority John Emms begins with the absolute fundamentals of minor piece endings. This slowly but surely arms readers with the essential knowledge and confidence to move onto slightly trickier positions. Using examples from practical play, Emms highlights the correct procedures as well as the typical mistakes made by both attacker and defender. As is normal with the famed\u003ci\u003e Starting Out\u003c\/i\u003e series, there are an abundance of notes, tips, and warnings throughout the book to help improving players. \u003ci\u003eStarting Out: Minor Piece Endgames\u003c\/i\u003e is perfect for those who have previously honed their chess skills with the earlier books \u003ci\u003eStarting Out in Chess\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTips for Young Players \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Improve Your Endgame Play\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKey features: \u003cbr\u003e*Covers all crucial minor piece endings\u003cbr\u003e*Easy step-by-step guide to better endgame play\u003cbr\u003e*Ideal for improving players\u003cbr\u003e*User-friendly layout to help readers absorb the key ideas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Emms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1857443594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781857443592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Everyman Chess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.64h x 6.96w x 0.53d","brand":"John Emms","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984424468735,"sku":"9781857443592","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1fd1f6cb-0586-4f97-9e6a-dbbddbbed1f3.jpg?v=1683272235","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/starting-out-john-emms-9781857443592","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
