Volume 1 of Mastering Pawn Endgames was a wide survey of very basic concepts such as the opposition, key squares, the square of a passed pawn and triangulation.It was the perfect step-by-step trainer to start out endgame study, and proved to be a huge hit.
However, this second volume takes your training up a notch. It dives into pawn endgames a bit more in-depth to explore more difficult and hard-to-spot instances of the same concepts.
Make the step up
These advanced ideas will be explained in much more detail - and the course's word count reflects that.
One change in this volume is that all the exercises in volume 2 are from White's perspective, whereas volume 1 was a bit confusing at times with both white and black exercises.
Also, every single position has been checked by the engine.
The topics this volume covers are:
🔵 Indirect Opposition;
🔵 Corresponding Squares;
🔵 (Advanced) Breakthrough;
🔵 (Advanced) Pawn Races;
🔵 (Advanced) Stalemates;
🔵 (Advanced) Restricting The King;
