This book is largely a spin-off from the more comprehensive book: Chess Endgames Explained, The Essential Techniques, by the same author. However, it has been revised and up-dated to include an exercise section on minor pieces. When is a knight better than a bishop? And when is a bishop better than a knight? Knights and bishops have different properties. Each can excel in the correct environment. Yet how do we know, when we arrive at a minor piece ending, that our sole remaining minor piece is better or worse than that of our opponent? The answer to this question becomes more urgent when we are faced with the prospect of transitioning into this type of endgame. These endgame encounters provide a bewitching rivalry. As enthusiastic chess players we cannot afford the luxury of being mere spectators to such events. We will be called upon to embark upon this journey ourselves. Therefore, we would benefit from a good road map that highlights both the dangerous routes and the safe passages. This book shines a light on these endgame duels and unravels their mysteries. Practical minor piece endgames that occur in actual play are viewed, and we witness the various clashes between the minor pieces. This is an ideal entry point for the new player, whilst also offering the more experienced intermediate player valuable insights and advice.
