Obtaining material advantages

One of the most crucial skills you need for success in chess improvement is the ability to win once you have obtained a large material advantage. What good is knowledge of forks, pins, and skewers if you cannot win once you are up a queen? So, this is what made some trainers decide to create outstanding lessons on winning with a large material advantage. The first lesson may be showing how to win a basic ending with an extra queen; the second  with an extra rook; and the third with an extra minor piece. Remember : never take very simple to the most difficult puzzles for granted.
