Endgame Magic with GM Karsten Müller

Karsten Müller, critically acclaimed and popular author of many DVDs and books, has his own show on playchess.com. Once a month he presents selected examples from practical endgame play and shares his vast practical and theoretical endgame knowledge with the public. You can ask Karsten questions during the show and you can also just relax, lean back and let yourself be quietly entertained and instructed.

The following example is from the recent Tat Steel tournament, which GM Levon Aronian convincingly won. In this position Ivanchuk had the White pieces and found a win against Anish Giri. Try to solve the position for yourself and you will be well prepared for the Endgame Magic Show, Thursday 4 pm.
