Karsten Muller & Frank Lamprecht
This book is a reprint, with corrections, of a book originally published in 2000.
Pawn endings are the most basic, yet often most complex, type of ending. This book presents a comprehensive course covering all types of variations in material and position. The first twelve chapters cover the basics of pawn endings such as the corresponding squares theory, specific tactics generated by passed pawns, the fight for tempi, stalemates, fortresses etc. Further chapters examine methods of thinking and more complex positions. There are test positions at the end of each chapter and a final chapter of exercises. An excellent book which will provide instruction and pleasure in equal measure.
pub. 2008, softback, 288 pages.

Glenn Flear
Pawn endings are uniquely difficult, relying on geometric ideas and exact calculation of tempi. One misjudgment can transform the assessment of the position instantly. In an imaginatively laid out book GM Glenn Flear leads the reader through all the key themes of pawn endings including zugzwang, the opposition and triangulation. He looks at play on one side of the board, the power of passed pawns, pawn races and king manoeuvring and explains some basic queen v pawn endings as well as how to favourably exchange into a pawn ending. The book is illustrated with hints, tips and diagrammed examples throughout and each chapter has a test section for the reader to solve. If you only want one book on pawn endings this would be a good choice with enough material to last most players a lifetime. Glenn Flear is an English Grandmaster.
Pub. 2004, softback, 192 pages.
