Karsten Müller presents each topic in detail in the video. You can enhance your knowledge with interactive exercise modules, teaching examples and exercises. This comprehensive course is varied, entertaining, and guarantees you a solid endgame knowledge after successful study, which is the basis for victory at the board.
