If you commit the time to study it in depth, you will learn subtleties that would possibly be forever lost to you. One thouroughly awesome example is from the ending of the game S.Ludwig-A.Klauser (Bad Ragaz 1990), where White had an extra pawn (3 vs.2 on the queenside), and it was White to move in the following position: W:Kd3, pawns on a4,b2,c2, B:Ke6, pawns on a7,b7. You would intuitively think that the winning procedure would be to simply blow the pawns up the board a la Capablanca/Nimzovichs' "candidate in front" rule and just win with your extra pawn. However, since there is a deep subtlety (only found through intense study of this book!) of the fact that White's rook pawn has **already moved**, Black will be able to draw in a study-like fashion with a bishop and rook's pawn vs. rook's pawn setup by preventing the opposition and moving his king to the same color as the square of the rook pawn if it be on a4/a5/a6, etc. White wins this position by moving his king up and then advancing his c-pawn, leaving his b-pawn for reserve tempos, losing his c-pawn for Black's b-pawn (likely with check), then using the last reserve tempo from the b-pawn to outflank Black. Not something that is intuitive, and immensely helpful! This book is chock-full of things like the last example, and you will learn the subtleties and exceptions to things like Bahr's rule (concerning fixed rook pawns and a passed pawn), with other many counter-intuitive winning or drawing procedures. The authors have also done an incredible job with back-linking positions in later chapters with material from previous chapters when variations translate into something already learned, all of which is easily referenced for the reader. I can now see why everyone has rated this book 5 stars. Highly, highly recommended.

Accuracy is more important than writing ability. If you purchased this book, there is no doubt what you expected to take from it. When I found the first typo on the first page of chapter one I thought I made a bad purchase. I don't care about excuses...poor editing, hard to translate from German, or anything else. As I continued to read I found the book to be better than I had expected. Once I got used to the codes and symbols, the book was very enjoyable. The exercises were outstanding. They hammered home the critical ideas without wasting your time on exercises that would never occur in an actual game. And yes the book was very accurate. I learned a few new ways to quickly evaluate complex positions. The order of the exercises was perfect. Each exercise built on the previous exercises as they flowed smoothly through the book. You can not spend too much time with a book like this. After living and playing in Germany for the past two years I am amazed at the strength of German players and their passion for the game. They are absolutely crazy about chess. I find chess everywhere I go in this country. These two authors are a direct reflection of chess in Germany today. I will look for more of their books. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/106472622-secrets-of-pawn-endings-endgame](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/106472622-secrets-of-pawn-endings-endgame) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
