Endgame Master Class-GM Andersson
Here is an ordinary endgame from GM Ulf Andersson who grinds out a long ending from a slightly better position. Yet the game was not entirely one-sided as both sides did not follow the optimal path.
The endgame phase can be examined under the following themes
- Greater piece activity
- Symmetrical pawn structure
- RN-RN;R-R
- Open file occupation
- 2nd rank occupation

Position 1
After 27.Nf3 black has the more active pieces. What do you recommend black now?
Black to Play
Position 2
After 31…Rc2 black is pressing with at least a slight advantage. How should white defend?
White to Play
Position 3
The R-R is sharp and requires some precision. How should black continue?
