About the Book

Pawn endings do not arise out of nowhere. Before emerging as endgames with just kings and pawns, they 'pre-existed' in positions that still contained any number of pieces. Liquidation is the purposeful transition into a pawn ending. It is a vital technique that is seldom taught. Strange, because knowing when and how to liquidate can help you win games or save draws. In this book, former US Chess Champion Joel Benjamin teaches everything about successfully liquidating into pawn endgames. Enter a fascinating world of tempo play (triangulation, zugzwang and opposition), breakthroughs, king activity, passed pawn dynamics, sacrifices and counter-sacrifices.

About the Author :
Joel Benjamin won the US Championship three times and has been a trainer for almost three decades. His book Liquidation on the Chess Board won the Best Book Award of the Chess Journalists of America (CJA), and his most recent book Better Thinking, Better Chess is a world-wide bestseller.

Review :
"An excellent new book. The theme of the right exchange is underrepresented in chess literature, and Joel Benjamin manages to highlight its importance by investigating the transition into a pawn endgame in deep detail."--Karsten Muller, Grandmaster "Fundamental Chess Endings " "The book works quite addictively. It's dealing with one of the big moments of uncertainty in practical chess."--Matthew Sadler "Well written and thoroughly researched. The selected examples have a strong practical value. This is an impressive work for players at any level above beginner - but it's not a dry endgame manual. The games contain some beautiful ideas and overall I found the book very interesting."--Daniel King, Grandmaster "A labour of love that has produced an outstanding book."--Gary Lane, International Master "Chess Moves Magazine " "Benjamin has managed to create an excellent guide to a difficult theme that has been badly served in chess literature. If you are really serious about improving your chess, you should work on your Benjamin!"--Frank Zeller, International Master "Magazine Schach " "Engages itself with a theme on which there is not a lot of literature. It will doubtlessly enrich players with a new aspect of the art of playing chess."--Uwe Bekemann, German Correspondence Chess Federation "Entertainment is never far away. The material, which feels very fresh, provides an impressive series of easily digestible lessons."--Sean Marsh "CHESS Magazine " "I am not aware of any prior book which covered this subject, other than perhaps in passing. It takes only a moment's thought to realize that all king and pawn endings started out as endings with more pieces on the board, and therefore this is a subject worthy of its own manual. I feel that GM Benjamin really hit the mark with this book."--Chris Wainscott "ChessIQ " "I have, until now, never seen a collection of exercises on the theme of transition into the endgame, let alone with such precise solutions as Benjamin presents here."--Dennis Calder, FIDE Instructor "Not much has been written about liquidation into the pawn endgame, an important motif. In endgame books it is often only indirectly touched upon. This book is therefore to be recommended."--Richard Vedder, Shakers.Info "Strongly recommended. In transitions into pawn endgames a lot can be gained and a lot can be lost."--Schach Magazine 64 "The book is anything but dry. Benjamin is excellent at explaining not only the intricacies of specific positions, but also useful practical guidance for general endgame play. I felt that I gained a lot from these instructions."--David Smerdon, Grandmaster "Chess.com " "Very instructive are not only the many exercises at the end of each chapter, but in particular the last chapter where Benjamin once more summarizes every important motif in pawn endings, with examples and explications."--Harry Schaack "KARL Magazine "
