Pawn endings do not arise out of nowhere. Before emerging they 'pre-existed' in positions that still contained any number of pieces. Liquidation, the purposeful transition into a pawn ending, is a vital technique that is seldom taught. Strange, because knowing how to liquidate can help you win games or save draws. Former US Chess Champion Joel Benjamin focuses on the practical aspects: what to aim for and how to get there.
