About The Book

Winning a pawn is a common occurrence in chess, but many players have no idea what to do with an extra pawn, aside from the vague notion of “exchange pieces and win the endgame”. Grandmaster Sam Shankland knows better – and after reading this book, you will too. In this groundbreaking work, Shankland shares his three-step process for handling positions with an extra pawn, using perfectly chosen practical examples to illustrate the themes. With this book, you too can become a master at converting the most common type of material advantage in chess.
