Endgames often give rise to the most difficult and pivotal moments of a chess game. In Sharp Endgames, International Master Esben Lund tackles this crucial topic in a unique and innovative way, focusing on the 16 Parameters involved in this type of decision-making.

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 vam je postavil izziv: vložite čas in trud v to knjigo in vaši šahovski rezultati se bodo izboljšali – ne glede na vaš trenutni nivo. Vprašanje je: ali ste pripravljeni sprejeti izziv? Močno vas spodbujam, da sprejmete – ne bo vam žal.” – Iz predgovora velemojstra Larsa Bo Hansena.
