Time and again we see the finest chess players beat strong opposition from level positions. Magnus Carlsen is famous for it nowadays but go back a few generations and we find Anatoly Karpov, Bobby Fischer and Jose Raul Capablanca all doing it. When so many club players just agree a draw if the Queens are exchanged and material is level, how do the great players find an edge?

Capablanca and Karpov were always advocating the study of chess endgames as the way to master the game. It teaches you the relative power of the pieces and how they change during a game as well as teaching strategy and being the perfect exercize for sharpening your calculation.

These are the lessons behind GM Roman Dzindzichashvili's brilliant course "The Most Brilliant Squeezes Ever in the Endgame". In it, Roman demonstrates top-level players squeezing a win from the smallest of advantages against other very strong players. Roman explains the strategies and reasons for each move so you can learn from the masters.

In this preview, Roman analyzes the fantastic chess endgame between Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov from their first World Championship match in 1984.  Karpov's only advantage lies in a slightly better Bishop. Watch how he decides which pieces to exchange, which to keep and how to maneuver to make things as difficult as possible for Kasparov.

Enjoy this instructive preview and if you want to learn more about chess endgames then check out the full course.
