La técnica de Bobby Fischer para el final de partida, de Alex Colovic (tapa blanda)

This Bobby Fischer's Endgame Technique by Alex Colovic is an English-language paperback chess book that uses Fischer’s endgame play as a practical guide to better decision-making at the board. It focuses on how he built pressure, improved his pieces and turned small advantages into lasting problems for the opponent.

What this book covers

More than fifty years after Bobby Fischer became world champion, his games still offer valuable study material. Alex Colovic concentrates on what players can still learn from them: precision, piece activity, the fight for the initiative and the disciplined use of even the smallest edge in the endgame.

The author does more than present annotated games. He leads the reader through Fischer’s most instructive endgames and shows the thinking behind the moves, making the book useful for real work on your own play.

How the study is structured

The book is designed to build endgame thinking step by step. Colovic uses questions and exercises to encourage active analysis rather than passive reading, which makes it easier to absorb the ideas and apply them in study, training and tournament preparation.

Across five chapters, the book covers three especially important Fischer games, along with endgames where a bishop or knight takes control of the opponent’s pieces. It also includes examples of play for the initiative, rook endgames and opposite-coloured bishop positions, where Fischer was able to create mating threats.

The explanations move from simpler ideas to more demanding combinations, so the book can be used by players at different levels.
