Test Yourself in Pawn Endgames by Jerzy Konikowski is a chess book focused on one of the most important stages of the game. It helps you test your own play in practical positions and make better decisions when the board has been reduced to its essentials.
Why pawn endgames matter
In chess, a single accurate decision often decides the result once the position becomes highly simplified. That is why pawn endgames matter so much to every player. Jerzy Konikowski’s book concentrates on this part of the game and helps you understand the ideas that lead to a win, a draw or a loss.
What’s inside
The book contains 168 instructive positions, giving you plenty of material to test your knowledge and practise the typical problems that arise in pawn endgames. This format makes it suitable both for self-study and for regular chess training.
It is a strong choice for players who want more than theory alone. The focus is on evaluating positions and finding the best moves in practice, which makes the book useful for ambitious amateurs as well as players working on their endgame technique.
