In this groundbreaking work, Shankland shares his three-step process for handling positions with an extra pawn, providing exercises to train the reader’s ability, along with carefully annotated examples to illustrate the key themes. Converting an Extra Pawn in Chess contains everything you need to master the skill of winning with the most common type of material advantage in chess.
