A practical approach

 

Yesterday, the book of Averbakh arrived. It contains a treatise of corresponding squares. It is not really a theory. It is more a set of findings of the endgame composer M. Zinar, with an attempt to categorise those and to distill a few rules from it.

These are my conclusions:

• My attempt to simplify matters was way too optimistic. Almost ridiculous, actually.
• The shallow approach of corresponding squares by Dvoretsky is exactly what I need.
• The book provides exactly what I need to understand the videos about correspondence squares of NM Caleb Denby

For all practical intents and purposes, the work of Dvoretsky is enough to understand corresponding squares for tournament play at my level + 500 (<2200). The video is useful above 2200, I guess.
