Comprehensive Chess Endings: Queen and Pawn Endings : Queen Against Rook Endings : Queen Against Minor Piece Endings (Pergamon Russian Chess Series)

Henkin, Viktor

In the ending the advantage of a single 'insignificant' pawn can frequently prove decisive as that pawn inexorably pushes forward and is finally able to reach the last rand and transform itself into a queen. Despite this basic fact of chess that any beginner knows, pawn endgames are usually played very badly.The present work, already established as a classic in its Russian edition, is by far the most complete work on pawn endgames ever published. Containing no less than 911 examples, it will prove invaluable both to the student of chess and to the practical player.

Averbakh's Selected Games

UNKNO

Chess: An Historical Perspective Chess â€“ the â€œRoyal Gameâ€ â€“ is an ancient board game, perhaps fifteen hundred years old. There are many legends about how chess came to be. Most of them are folk tales and are far from reality. Arguably more books have been written about chess than all the other games combined, but relatively little has been written about the history of chess. The topic is difficult; it requires thorough knowledge, and there are still many unknown historical pitfalls. It is therefore no surprise that there exist a variety of hypotheses concerning the origin of chess. In this book, the author, legendary Russian grandmaster Yuri Averbakh, presents a well-researched and documented theory about the origins, development and spread of this immensely popular game. In addition, over three dozen splendid color plates â€“ presented on coated stock making the images suitable for framing â€“ supplement his historical analysis.
