Product Description

Anatoly Karpov’s  legendary endgame technique  has always been something of an enigma. Karpov became worldchampion 1975 (having been preceded by Bobby Fischer). He managed to win positions which nearly everybody else estimated as a draw with his fine end game technique. This book for the first time takes a close look at this  end game technique,  explaining the finer points better than Karpov himself has ever cared to do. A very in structive and entertaining book.
