Introduction

My chessfriends,

Collecting the data, researching material and analyzing the games took me

a long time. This writing is a supplementary work which contains correc-

tions, improvements to the recently published studies in this field.

Although they seem easy, I noticed, the top grandmasters' endgames are

full of mistakes, inaccuracies. This situation becomes even worse with the

huge masses of open players, their knowledge of endgames leaves a lot to

be required. That was the main reason why I wrote this book. The end-

ings of important games which were played recently were given priority,

especially those of leading grandmasters. I omitted commentaries that can

be found in the above mentioned works. The symbols and signs can easi-

ly be understood in the "international language" ofchess.

Last but not least I would like to say thank you everybody who con-

tributed ill any way, to the writing ofthis book.
