Inhaltsangabe:

Críticas: Benjamin has managed to create an excellent guide to a difficult theme that has been badly served in chess literature. If you are really serious about improving your chess, you should work on your Benjamin!--Frank Zeller, International Master "Magazine Schach "

Entertainment is never far away. The material, which feels very fresh, provides an impressive series of easily digestible lessons.--Sean Marsh "CHESS Magazine "

Well written and thoroughly researched. The selected examples have a strong practical value. This is an instructive work for players at any level above beginner - but it's not a dry endgame manual. The games contain some beautiful ideas and overall I found the book very entertaining.--Daniel King, Grandmaster "creator of the Power Play DVD series "

The book works quite addictively. It's dealing with one of the big moments of uncertainty in practical chess.--Matthew Sadler, Grandmaster, former British Champion

A labor of love that has produced and outstanding book.--Gary Lane, International Master "Chess Moves Magazine "

Engages itself with a theme on which there is not a lot of literature. It will doubtlessly enrich players with a new aspect of the art of playing chess.--Uwe Bekemann, German Correspondence Chess Federation

Very instructive are not only the many exercises at the end of each chapter, but in particular the last chapter where Benjamin once more summarizes every important motif in pawn endings, with examples and explications.--Harry Schaack "KARL Magazine "

The book is anything but dry. Benjamin is excellent at explaining not only the intricacies of specific positions, but also useful practical guidance for general endgame play. I felt that I gained a lot from these instructions.--David Smerdon, Grandmaster "Chess.com "

A must for every advanced chess player who wants to improve his liquidating skills.--Eddy Sibbing "Max Euwe Centre Amsterdam "

I am not aware of any prior book which covered this subject, other than perhaps in passing. It takes only a moment's thought to realize that all king and pawn endings stated out as endings with more pieces on the board, and therefore this is a subject worthy of its own manual. I feel that GM Benjamin really hit the mark with this book.--Chris Wainscott "ChessIQ "
