Bend Even The Toughest Endings To Your Favor With These 5 Underrated Strategies
Discover how these 5 little-explored methods in the endgame can help you bust through iron-clad defense, and finally win in the 9th hour of play. The greatest female player of all time — and her trusty analyst and friend — will show you how.
When you match up against stronger competition…
When opening prep and basic middlegame plans are no longer enough to win…
You must pull all the stops in the endgame.
And that’s what Grandmasters Judit Polgar (peak 2735 FIDE, former world #8) and Mihail Marin (three-time Romanian champion) are about to show you.

🛠️ Piece-versus-pawn play. You'll learn how to beat far advanced enemy pawns by maneuvering your extra piece with pinpoint precision.
🛠️ Kingly maneuvers... including surprising mating attacks led by your most important piece.
🛠️ Perfectly timed transitions to pure pawn endgames. Or as Polgar said in chapter 10, "the most reliable way of either converting an advantage into a win or saving a worse position."

The Keys To Polgar’s Finest Victories
Anatoly Karpov (12th World Champion) ground down in a knight-versus-pawns endgame. Learn how to win this match-up in chapter 7.
Garry Kasparov (13th World Champion) forced to resign after Polgar combined mating threats with pawn grabbing. See this strategy in action in chapter 12.
Viswanathan Anand (15th World Champion) survived a ferocious attack, only to crumble in a same-bishop endgame. The right exchanges sealed the deal here, which you’ll learn about in chapters 1 to 5.
Polgar’s hit-list goes on.
And with the help of Marin — her trusty analyst and fellow endgame specialist — Polgar condensed her decades-long experience of outplaying top 100 Grandmasters in the endgame… into 9 hours of video and 284 MoveTrainer® exercises which drive the lessons home.
