Excellent Bite-Sized Book,

This review is from: Basic Endgame Strategy: Kings, Pawns, Minor Pieces (Road to Chess Mastery) (Paperback)
I really enjoy chess and over the past year took the first steps to improve my play. This book played an integral part and taught very important "component" skills that I use on a regular basis -- things like how to promote pawns, use the king as a fighting piece, and use the minor pieces effectively in the endgame. The book took a few days of study with Chessmaster to complete. For someone with a day job and many other interests, this book strikes a perfect balance between content and complexity, highlighting key concepts with useful annotation (as opposed to providing an unguided encyclopedic approach that I have seen in other books.) Cardoza/Robertie combined this book with "Basic Endgame Strategy: Rooks and Queens" in their new 2003 release called "Easy Endgame Strategies". I just bought this new book even though I already have half of the content in "Kings Pawns and Minor Pieces". The book is not imposing and was quite enjoyable. |
