Practical Knight Endings By Edmar Mednis

One of the many marks showing that the inventor of chess was a genius is making the Bishop and Knight two absolutely different pieces about equivalent in material value.

In my book Practical Bishop Endings I addressed the important principles and techniques of playing same color and opposite color Bishop endings. The Bishop is inherently a logical, straightforward piece. The principles of Bishop endings are inherently logical and straightforward also. Knowing and understanding these principles, when added to the not very large number of sophisticated techniques presented in the above book, is enough for the practical player. Knight endings is quite another matter. As every beginner realizes, the Knight is a very tricky piece. More knowledge and effort are required to handle Knight endings well as compared to Bishop endings. Of course, Knight endings also have important principles and these need to be mastered. But Knight endings need a lot more. A simplified comparison with Bishop endings gives the following guidelines: the special need in Bishop endings is sophistication; Knight endings require lots of creativity and calculation. Since there is more to know in Knight endings, Practical Knight Endings is, of necessity, longer than Practical Bishop Endings.
