To the ending! With enough space and minimal distraction from other pieces, the ending is the perfect environment for learning tactical patterns and extending your calculation horizon. Once you have mastered the tactics in endings, you will become unstoppable in all phases of the game.  \nThree-step plan  \nThis book teaches you tactical combinations that are at most three moves deep and it is divided into three separate parts that comprise a clear three-step plan:  \nThe first part explains and trains the basic tactical patterns and consists of two chapters:  \n1. Mate in one move;  \n2. Win a piece in two moves.  \nIn the second part, we add a preparatory move to these basic combinations, leading to the following chapters:  \n3. Mate in two moves;  \n4. Win a piece in three moves.  \nIn the last stage of this course (Part III), we will learn how to defend ourselves against our opponent’s threats. Most tactics books focus on attack; however, chess players must attack and defend equally well. This defending part consists of the following chapters:  \n5. Defend your king;  \n6. Defend your piece.  \nEach chapter is broken down into different sections, starting with a single queen and gradually building up the complexity until we are able to solve exercises in which we have to coordinate three different pieces.  \nThe aim of this book is to teach you the most important tactical weapons available and make sure that you can apply them in your games.  \nTake it slow  \nThis book starts with basic mate in one combinations and increases in complexity until we approach the three-move barrier. Learning new skills is always hard, especially when you are a relatively inexperienced chess player. That is why I recommend that you to take it slow and always prefer accuracy over speed when  \n1001 Chess Endgame Exercises for Beginners  \nsolving exercises. To guide you along the way, I added summarizing flash cards and tests to each chapter. The test should tell you whether you are ready for the next step and are a mix of all the different topics in the preceding chapters. This enables you to repeat the most important topics and solve exercises without knowing what to look out for. Just like in your games.  \nThe Steps Method  \nChess training experts will recognize the terminology from the Steps Method in this book.
