Thank you.  A nice introduction to Opposition.  Opposition is one of the most important techniques to learn for the endgame.  Every chess player should strive to learn it like the back of their hand! (It's not difficult once you get the hang of it).

The following books do a good job covering the Opposition in detail...

Silman's Complete Endgame Course: From Beginner To Master by Jeremy Silman

Endgame Workshop: Principles for the Practical Player by Bruce Pandolfini
