The Chess Endgame Study is A. J. Roycroft’s complete introduction to the endgame study, exploring how composed endgame positions challenge and instruct chess solvers.
Roycroft covers the history of endgame study, an international roster of theorists and composers, and more than 400 endgame studies dating from ninth-century Arabia to the present. He also examines definition, classification, retrieval, motivation, creativity, and the role of chess as game, science, and art.
Annotated with genial wit and spirit, the studies range from transparent to endlessly complex and reflect Roycroft’s modification of the Guy-Blandford system. Browse more titles in Accessories > Chess Books or compare with Clearance - The Modernized Marshall Attack.
