Exlorg te Endgae
OIOILIIIIIIH3
The endgame is an area in which careful
analysis is required. Peter Griffiths here takes
over oJgames -most of them complete, so
that one can see how the endgame positions
arose -and gives a full analysis of the endings,
with explanatory notes.
The games are divided into chapters
according to the nature of the ending:
pawn endings, bishop endings etc. A valuable
and unusual feature is that rook + minor piece
endings are given separate consideration.
Algebraic notation is used throughout .
Peter Griffiths is a professional chess coach
and writer, and has played in the
British National Championships. Most of
the games in this book have appeared in his
regular column entitled
' Practical Chess Endings' in the
II|IS CeSSNaQazIDe
