Introduction
The second book of the series “The Modern Endgame Manual” is all about bishop endgames. We decided to share the “Minor pieces” endings between 2 books, “Bishop endgames” and “Bishop vs knight, and knight endgames”. Bishop endgames can basically be divided into 3 main chapters:
But never fear, the current book will lead you step-by-step - from the very simple to the hugely complex - and you will be introduced to the theoretical knowledge you need, and also how to apply it in bishop endgame praxis. However, for most of the bishop endgames we should remember only one rule: The bishop is a long range piece and it is great in open positions, especially when the fi ght comes to a long diagonal, but on the other hand the bishop generally struggles when it fi nds itself in closed positions. The material inside this book is very useful for players at every level, from the complete beginner up to GM standard! Aft er a deep study of this book you will be able to call yourself quite an expert, something you will hopefully prove in your future games!
