Pon a prueba tus habilidades en los finales tácticos - Jerzy Konikowski

Test Yourself in Tactical Endgames by Jerzy Konikowski is a chess training book built around 140 carefully selected tasks that help you understand the tactical motifs most often seen in endgames. It is designed for practical study, with a clear focus on calculation, spotting key ideas and working through positions on your own.

What this book covers

Endgames often decide the result of a game, and in this phase precision and tactical alertness matter especially. In this book, Jerzy Konikowski brings together positions that highlight the most common tactical patterns in endgames. As you solve the exercises, you train yourself to recognise recurring ideas and assess the position more accurately at the board.

Train your calculation

The strength of this book lies in its practical approach. Working through the exercises regularly helps you practise move calculation, anticipate your opponent’s replies and choose the best plan. It is a useful choice for players who want to strengthen their endgame play and turn theory into practical results in club or tournament games.

For independent study and coaching

This book works well both for solo training and as a teaching aid in chess lessons. It can support players who want to improve their skills, as well as coaches and teachers looking for a ready-made set of exercises for students.
