Hi everybody, I am not very knowledgeable about classic or new chess instruction books except the most famous Russian and English language books. Can anybody recommend to me a book that is either entirely about, or has a good section on how a player should play when they want to get 1/2 of a point by stalemates or draws?

I noticed in my quick online matches that it’s a thing often ignored when players resign plus if you were in a real tournament 1/2 of a point is still half of a point.

Draw! by Wolfgang Heidenfeld was well received when it came out in 1982. Online second hand markets like Biblio.com show it is fairly easy to get.
