Šachové koncovky by František Pithart is a concise instructional book devoted to chess endgames, written for beginners and club-level players. It explains the most important theoretical and practical endgame positions through many clear examples with diagrams, focusing on technique, typical plans, and common mistakes rather than deep analysis. The book is valued for its straightforward, pedagogical style and serves as a solid introduction to endgame fundamentals in Czech chess literature.
In its compact format of about 128 pages, Pithart introduces readers to a wide range of typical endgame positions, from basic endings to more complex scenarios. It contains around 246 examples complete with diagrams, move notation, and brief explanations, organized into thematic sections such as pieces against pieces (without pawns), pieces against pawns, pawn-and-rook endings, light-piece endings, and queen endings. This structure helps learners understand both elementary patterns and practical techniques for converting advantages or saving difficult positions.
