Test Yourself in Major-Piece Endgames by Jerzy Konikowski is a chess book focused on one of the most demanding stages of the game: major-piece endgames. It gives players a practical way to test calculation, evaluation and tactical decision-making in difficult positions.
What the book covers
In chess, a single critical decision can decide the game. This book concentrates on those moments, using major-piece endgame positions that call for accurate analysis and a clear plan. It helps you practise position assessment, calculate variations and choose the best continuation when precision matters most.
Practical endgame training
This is a good choice for players who want to improve their endgame skills through active study rather than passive reading. It encourages you to work through the position for yourself and practise solving the kinds of problems that arise on the board.
If you are interested in major-piece endgames and want a book that supports tactical thinking and careful analysis, Jerzy Konikowski’s Test Yourself in Major-Piece Endgames is a valuable addition to a chess library.
