Practical Endgame Mastery with IM Mat Kolosowski

Practical Endgame Mastery

Everything You Need to Guarantee You Get the Endgame Win

Sooner or later you’re going to play a critical game. Hours of great middlegame play has landed you in a winning queen versus rook endgame.

But your resilient rival isn’t giving up… They keep that rook close and hide their king behind it whenever your queen attacks.

There is a winning method.

Whether you find it, win that game, tournament, prize money and glory depends on what you do NOW…

IM Kolosowski is back with his 10-hour Practical Endgame Mastery, the ultimate toolbox of winning techniques for tricky endgame positions like QvR.

Here’s a taste of what to expect:

• Secrets of the exchange. Can you give up the exchange for a pawn and defend the RvB endgame? Learn the secrets of the exchange in chapters 10 and 11 – including cunning traps to set when you have the rook.
• Breaking the fortress. Even 2200+ players have actually lost positions like this with QvR+P. Mat gives you the surefire technique for smashing down Black’s fortress. Easy to remember and unstoppable.
• Queen versus queen and pawn. Essential knowledge for playing both sides of this common situation. It’s nearly always a win but the clever defense will make it tricky to do within 50 moves. Learn how to convert with minimum moves… and how to drag things out if defending.
• Save the game – a piece down! There are GMs who don’t know this method! Learn it once, however, and you’ll be able to sac a piece for a pawn to trade into this drawn R+BvR ending!
• Practical strategy. You know the positions you want and you know how to convert them. Now you need to steer the game in that direction. Mat shows you how to cut down your opponent’s choices until they go where you want them to go.

These are ideas that, once learned, will win you points game after game for the rest of your life. Techniques that never change and always work.

Arm yourself with these evergreen techniques and, when the opportunity comes, you’ll always find luck on your side.
