Studies are highly recommended for refining calculating and tactical skills, deepening endgame understanding, as well as improving creativity and out of the box thinking.<br \/>\nThe Anthology of Miniature Endgame Studies is the biggest selection of composed endings with up to seven pieces on the board, created by the world\u2019s best composers throughout the past 150 years. The carefully selected studies are categorized into thematic chapters. The game-like positions highlight the power and typical qualities of each piece alone and in collaboration with other pieces.<br \/>\nFrom the foreword by GM Jan Timman: \u201cEndgame studies are in fact an important factor in becoming a strong player. It is significant that both Garry Kasparov and Magnus Carlsen have a keen interest in endgame studies. It is praiseworthy that Chess Informant was ready to publish this important work. Afek is arguably the most qualified person to write it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anthology of Miniature Endgame Studies &#8211; Yochanan Afek<br \/>\nChess Informant 2022, hardcover, 500 pages<br \/>\n2000 studies, themes, definitions and explanations<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2138,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[15,133],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2136","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-chess-books","7":"product_cat-chess-endgame-books","9":"first","10":"outofstock","11":"sold-individually","12":"taxable","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
