The studies in this book are focused on the endings of games, which are the final stages of a chess game where only a few pieces remain on the board. The book is divided into three parts. The first part contains studies that focus on the endgame, where the goal is to checkmate the opponent's king. The second part contains studies that focus on the middle game, where the goal is to gain an advantage in material or position. The third part contains studies that focus on the opening, where the goal is to establish a strong position on the board.Each study in the book is presented with a diagram of the chessboard and a description of the goal of the study. The reader is then challenged to find the best moves to achieve the goal.
