Susan will show you how to checkmate a lone King, using a Queen, then a Rook, then 2 Bishops or a Knight and Bishop. Even some unusual mates are included. In Chapter 2 Susan covers all the basic pawn endgames, the Rook's pawn, Opposition, the Rule of the Square, and Geometry in chess. Topics include the pawn race, two extra pawns, one side Queens first, King activity - and lots more!
