It makes full use of endgame tablebases and analytical engines that access these tablebases; where previous authors could only make educated guesses, M ller and Lamprecht have often been able to state the definitive truth, or get much closer to it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew time-controls involve competitive games being played to a finish in one session, so it is especially important that chess-players understand the key endgame principles.
