This compact yet comprehensive manual systematically presents the essential principles and techniques of endgame play — from fundamental king and pawn structures to the subtleties of minor and major piece endings — making complex theory accessible to club players and serious competitors alike.\n\nHooper, a respected English chess writer and International Master, brings the same rigorous clarity that distinguished his co-authorship of A Guide to Chess Openings to this focused study of the endgame. Written in a concise, authoritative style, the book distills decades of grandmaster practice into practical, memorable rules and illustrative examples, leaving the reader with a sharper understanding of why endgame mastery so often separates the good player from the great one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203394445531,"sku":"2026100009917-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b7db944a-92eb-4885-be8c-46525fcdfd47.png?v=1788148514","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009917-secondhand-a-pocket-guide-to-chess-endgames","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
