In this free preview excerpt from my latest chess DVD for beginners entitled ¨Winning Chess Endgames for Beginners¨ – we´re going to take a look at a few critical positions in Knight and Pawn endgames. Specifically, we will examine targeted examples to increase our understanding of essential concepts such as zugzwang, blockading, and deflection (The deflection technique is especially important in Knight and Pawn endgames!). Below you will find the starting positions for the three exercises from the video – I recommend you try to solve these positions before watching the video and then compare your responses.
