Combinaciones en el final de partida - Jacek Gajewski, Jerzy Konikowski

Endgame Combinations by Jacek Gajewski and Jerzy Konikowski is a Polish-language chess book on tactical combinations in the endgame, showing how forcing lines and material sacrifices can decide the result long after the opening has finished.

What this book covers

The authors focus on a practical but often overlooked part of chess training: tactical combinations in endgames. Through a wide range of examples, they show that recognisable tactical motifs also appear in pawn endings, rook endings, queen endings and heavy-piece endings, and that it is worth learning to spot them and work through them systematically.

What’s inside

The book is designed for study and self-training. It combines explanations of the main motifs with a substantial set of positions to solve on your own.

• 32 commonly seen tactical motifs in endgames across different material configurations
• 192 practical examples for independent training
• 300 positions of varying difficulty and theme
• 492 endgames to solve with answers included

This structure makes it useful both as a study guide and as a regular source of endgame tactics exercises. It is a strong choice for players who want to make better use of an advantage, defend difficult positions and recognise the decisive idea more quickly in the final phase of the game.
