"Thinkers’ Chess Academy with GM Thomas Luther – Volume 4 365 Endgame Lessons for Novices"

This book helps to eliminate hours of game study and provides bite-sized lessons and tasks that you can implement each day to improve your chess game over the course of a year. We’ve collected an array of typical positions and situations that are frequently seen on the board so that you can better anticipate common mistakes, as well as teach you how you can exploit your opponent’s mistakes. If you make 5-10 minutes of chess study a daily habit, you will improve your chess game and your “chess brain” by opening your mind to planning and moves you wouldn’t otherwise see on the chess board.

Do you like chess and want to become a better player? The way to reach this goal is by beginning the learning process as there is much to know. One place where specific knowledge is needed is in the endgame. While it may sound like hundreds of hours of training are waiting for you do not be discouraged. We will show you a very practical way to learn this facet of chess.

You may not have the time or patience to study chess systematically. While that will probably prevent you from becoming a master but it will not stop you from improving your understanding and becoming a better player. A little lesson or
task every day should improve your chess without much effort over the time of one year.

In this book we have collected typical positions and situations frequently seen on the board. If you know these you can avoid a lot of common mistakes or even better, you can exploit your opponent's mistake. Look for a time during the day when you will be able to study one of our examples.

We believe that 5-10 minutes should be sufficient for each task. What is important is to work a little bit on your chess every day. If you do this your brain will adapt to chess thinking making it easier for you to find the right plan or move. Our brains can adapt to every task we do on a regular basis be it math or finding chess moves.

Always have a good look at the diagram at the beginning of your training session. What can you find out about the position? Are there acute treats? Is there something you should keep in mind? Who has advantage or is the position about
equal? After finding out as much as possible start with the given task of the example or try to find the answer to the question.

If you have the answer (or at least you think so) look at the solution. Follow the moves of the solution carefully on the diagram. If, especially after a few months when the exercises are more complicated, are not sure then set up the position on a real board and look again.

We start with mostly easy exercises. If you already have some practical experience you can solve the examples at the beginning quickly until you come to your level. But do not skip them. Sometimes there may be something you do not know.

And now let's start for a year of fun with chess!

Your authors Heinz Brunthaler and Thomas Luther
