Mednis Edmar. Strategic Themes in Endgames

Coraopolis, Pennsylvania Chess Enterprises, 1991- 124p.-ISBN: 0-931462-94-0
The purpose of this book is to present in detail four of the most
Important strategic themes (the isolated d-pawn, Queenside
pawn majority, almost symmetrical formations, hedgehog
formations), carrying them into and through thematic endgames.
So that the book is equally useful to both 1 e4 players
and those who prefer closed systems, two of the strategic
themes examined come from each category. The "isolated d pawn"
and "Queenside pawn majority" themes are illustrated by
different variations within the French Defense. The English
Opening is used to discuss "almost symmetrical" and "hedgehog"
formations.
