Endgame Labyrinths

En formidabelt instruktiv bok med hele 1002 sluttspillstudier valgt ut og systematisert ut fra innhold for praktiske spillere. Mange av stillingene starter derfor etter et antall trekk av selve studien.

Den glimrende danske studiekomponisten Steffen Nielsen - verdensmester i faget i 2022 - er forfatter av boka sammen med stormester Jacob Aagaard. Registeret viser to studier av vår egen Jarl Ulrichsen og hele seks av vår unge stjerne på området, IM Geir Sune Tallaksen Østmoe.

Forlagets egen omtale

Endgame Labyrinths presents the reader with 1002 challenging studies selected and truncated, with their usefulness for the practical player in mind. It is common for studies to be extended by less interesting manoeuvres or by incomprehensible sequences, before the main themes come into play. The studies in this book have been pruned to leave the reader with 1002 clear and solvable challenges.

A few years of extensive selection, analysis, reselection, reanalysis and refining have gone into putting together the study book for the practical player with the most value ever.
