Features: Compared to the opening and middle game, the endgame has relatively fewer variations. However, with fewer pieces on the board and a larger area of activity, each piece gains more space to move. The endgame of chess is like the final play in a football match—whether the ball can be scored into the goal depends on deep expertise as its foundation. Therefore, studying and mastering endgame knowledge can help us transition from a less favorable position to a more advantageous endgame during a game. As is well known, no matter how the opening and middle game of a chess game unfolds, it will ultimately be decided by the endgame. Thus, the importance of the endgame in a chess game is self-evident. This book collects, organizes, and selects over 140 practical examples. Since the knight and cannon pawn endgame is the most common and practical in practice, this book primarily focuses on the endgame of chess.
