Combining beauty and practicality, the
Endgame
Study is one of the unique and subtle wonders of the Royal Game.
ChessCafe.com is pleased to present,
on a weekly basis, a selected endgame study for your enjoyment.
Unless specifically designated otherwise,
it is always White to move. Unlike problems, studies usually
do not require a solution in a pre-determined number of moves.
Simply look for the best moves and replies to work out the win
or draw. And don't be discouraged if at first you don't succeed
– working out the solution will be satisfying – even instructive!
The current study is presented immediately
following. Items in our
Archives, including this week's selection, are available
for you to download.
