49_Other endgames
Compiled by whiteshark
--*--

Simply 'other endgames'. Did you expect a long explanation ??? Keep on dreaming!

"Agreeing to draws in the middlegame, equal or otherwise, deprives you of the opportunity to practice playing endgames, and the endgame is probably where you need the most practice." ~ Pal Benko

A knowledge of the endgame is the magic key to the secrets of chess mastery. . . . Delving into the secrets of the endgame reveals an amazing world of chess harmony. --Vassily Smyslov
* * *

In order to improve your game, you must study the endgame before everything else. For whereas the endings can be studied and mastered by themselves, the middle game and end game must be studied in relation to the end game. - Jose Capablanca * * *

Mastering endgame technique is equally important for defense of difficult positions. --Nikolai Minev
