Exchanging to Win in the Endgame (Macmillan Chess Library)

Endgames always look comparatively easy to play because of the reduction in the number of pieces on the board. But the techniques required are very different from those needed in the middlegame, and in particular much thought must be given to whether or not to exchange off certain pieces. In many cases, choosing the right exchange can be the winning move in itself. Gennady Nesis is a leading Soviet theoretician who has brought his experience to bear on a vital but often neglected topic. Every player should learn the techniques in this book.
