The Endgame Academy Vol.1: Checkmate & pawn endgames, Karsten Müller (English)
Endgame theory forms the basis of chess. You understand this all too well when you reach a theoretically won endgame but must settle for a draw, as you lack the necessary know-how to win. Misfortunes of this kind can only be counteracted by developing a solid endgame technique, and this course by German grandmaster and endgame expert Dr Karsten Müller lays those foundations.
