The book contains more than a hundred carefully chosen exercises, with solutions linked to the 16

Parameters. The feedback is concrete and gives the player a clear way to improve his or her

understanding and skill.

The exercises can be played out against a partner or engine; the book even contains a step-by-step

guide explaining how to configure a chess engine for this purpose.

“Esben Lund has issued you a challenge: invest time and effort in this book, and your chess results

are going to improve – no matter your current level. The question is: are you ready to accept the

challenge? Istrongly encourage you to accept – you will not regret it.” – From the Foreword by GM

Lars Bo Hansen.

Sharp  Endgames

 

Esben Lund, an International Master from Denmark, is a respected author and coach. His two first

books for Quality Chess, Rook vs. Two Minor Pieces and The Secret Life of Bad Bishops, were both

well received for their originality and absorbing study material.

«I cannot speak highly enough of Lund’s work here. Sharp Endgames is the first major title I have

seen that outlines a thoughtful strategy for training against an engine, and Lund makes a persuasive

case for the practical importance of such activity… a deeply original effort, and every player over

2000 should strongly consider the ideas in Sharp Endgames for their own training.»
