Endgame Magic with GM Karsten Müller and WFM Sabrina Chevannes

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.

For this issue Karsten will be joined by WFM Sabrina Chevannes who is recording a DVD in Hamburg.

The following example is from the recent European Championship, which GM Dmitry Jakovenko won. An interesting endgame was played between Hrant Melkumyan and Dmitry Andreikin. Andreikin had the Black pieces and is to move and win. Try to solve the position for yourself and you will be well prepared for the Endgame Magic Show, Thursday 4 pm.
