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 World Championship 2012. Vishy Anand had the white pieces against Boris Gelfand and is to move and win. Try to solve the position for yourself and you will be well prepared for the Endgame Magic Show, Tuesday 4 pm.
