Topic Purpose

This series focuses on material-winning forcing moves that will win the game. It does not focus on checkmates. And it also explores what prevents you from finding the winning, forcing moves during games.

Included is an endgame study to help students excel at winning endgames. Our players are better prepared for endgames than just about anyone else and often win games in the ending that they would otherwise lose.
