Endgames with kings, bishops, knights, and pawns are generally considered among the most complex and can seem quite bewildering to improving players.

This slowly but surely arms readers with the essential knowledge and confidence to move onto slightly trickier positions. Using examples from practical play, Emms highlights the correct procedures as well as the typical mistakes made by both attacker and defender.
As is normal with the famed Starting Out series, there are an abundance of notes, tips, and warnings throughout the book to help improving players.
Key features:
*Covers all crucial minor piece endings
*Easy step-by-step guide to better endgame play
*Ideal for improving players
*User-friendly layout to help readers absorb the key ideas
