Jon Speelman: Major and minor

Por um escritor misterioso

Descrição

Endings with a rook and a minor piece each are especially difficult. There is still enough firepower on the board for plenty of tactics, up to and often including mating attacks. But in contrast to middlegames, where unless matters are very forcing you have to rely to a great extent on intuition, in principle you “ought” — with material limited — to be able to calculate fairly accurately! | Photo: John Saunders (2007)
