This practical endgame book concentrates on frequently occurring basic positions and explains the principles and main ideas for each player. This is the first algebraic edition of the work which was first published in 1974.
From 1968 to 1975 Paul Keres, one of the century's greatest chess grandmasters, wrote 40 superb columns for chess magazines, which are still considered some of the finest chess criticism ever published. This book contains the best of these pieces.
Paul Keres was a great player in chess history and a contender for the world championship for a third of a century. This work charts the progress of Keres's career from his early days as a self-taught young talent to his battles for the world title. It also examines the development of his play.
What prevented Paul Keres from becoming World Chess Champion? Readers can judge for themselves from the games in this book, which chart his career as he refined his classical attacking style. John Nunn has selected and annotated the finest of Keres's games from 1962 to his death in 1975.
