Purdy on the Endgame

Studying the endgame is the surest road to winning, and quick improvement, when playing those protracted or strategic struggles. Purdy shows his wisdom on the endgame from articles collected from his chess publications Australasian Chess Review, Check, and his legendary Chess World, and offers anecdotal stories and great examples on one of the most pleasant ways to learn the last phase of chess, the endgame. Topics include: The Horwitz Bishop, Bridge Building, and an original contribution by Purdy (A Fascinating Battle Between Rook and Bishop, singled out by endgame expert Karsten Muller in his foreword) are only a sampling of the 19 chapters which are loaded with expert advice.
