A “Must” Addition to Your Library

There are already many endgame books, so why this one? Well, most books deal with elementary endgames, or are very advanced and contain few exercises. But you have only really learned something when you can execute it at the board, with the clock ticking. And solving exercises is very close to this scenario.

The authors present 450 endgame exercises designed to improve your understanding of endgame theory and sharpen your endgame expertise. Starting with the chapter “Specific Positions to Know,” they take you on a journey with just the right mix of practical advice and theoretical knowledge.

Endgame Corner is detailed, well-researched, informative and in-depth, with both authors sharing their experiences, recent games and new examples... I really like this material and hope that you will as well. If you are fascinated by endings, or feel the need to improve this part of your game, this book is a “must” addition to your library. – From the Foreword by Wesley So

“This book is the endgame ‘proving ground.’ Not a resource you will use to expand your theoretical knowledge, but to test it in practical play. That, at the end of the day, is all that matters. Knowing the Philidor, the Lucena, or how to defend a Kling and Horwitz in theory is one thing, being able to recognize they are coming, and converting them under time pressure after five hours of play is a totally different story.”
