These two tutorial and training modules “Encyclopaedia of Queen Endings” are dedicated to one of the most important problems in a chess game – the queen endings.
These encyclopaedia modules consist of 2,062 (!) examples. Some that are well known, some that have been forgotten and some that have been rewritten by practice.
Although there are few comparable projects of this size, this computerised project offers extremely easy access for the user, as the encyclopaedia’s original endgame key provides a simple and logical way of doing this.
All the examples show basic principles and rules, but these are made much clearer and more explicit by games played in practice. Using analyses of many classical and modern games, the authors (for example the world champions G. Kasparov, A. Karpov, B. Spasski, R. Fischer, T. Petrosian, M. Botwinnik, as well as well-known super grandmasters such as J. Awerbach, W. Kortschnoi, R. Hübner, W. Hort, A. Miles, A. Adorjan, J. Nunn, the computer programme BELLE by Ken Thompson, KDKT by Hans Zellner and many others) as well as typical queenside endgames that can arise from various middlegame positions.
