Combining beauty and practicality, the Endgame Study is where the true depth and subtlety of chess is revealed. 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!

All endgame studies are available for download in the ChessCafe.com Archives.
