Many games do not get to this point, but it is worth understanding endgames with minor pieces and pawns (especially when playing OTB games) since it will help to guide your middlegame decision-making. One good book on endgames worth recommending is Pandolfini's Endgame Course* which provides many endgame scenarios. One of my favorites lessons from Pandolfinin's book is Endgame #10: Any Rook-Move Mate...where White mates in three no matter where the rook moves: * Pandolfini's Endgame Course A Fireside Book, published by Simon and Schuster ISBN-13: 978-0-671-65688-1 ISBN-10: 0-671-65688-0
