Chernev examines and explains sixty of the great Cuban's
best endgames in a very clear fashion and makes it all fascinating. An
interesting way to learn more endgame knowledge painlessly, witnessing
Capa deconstructing Lasker, Alekhine, Flohr, etc. Budget-priced too. |

Rate
Your Endgame by Edmar Mednis (New!)
Review
by a reader from Las Vegas, NV
For most chessplayers, even very strong ones, studying the endgame is
painfully boring. This book is one of the few genuinely entertaining and
instructive books available on this subject. The book concentrates on
practical endgame situations, rather than bore the reader with such stuff
as mate with B and N, which one may be required to perform once every five
thousand games or so. |

Grandmaster
Secret Endings
by GM Andrew Soltis
A reader from Milwaukee, WI , June 4,
1998
One of the top 3 books ever written on the endgame of chess! Soltis' book
on the endgame is both a joy and a revelation. In it, he discloses
secrets, yes secrets, about the endgame I've not found in any other chess
book. The opening chapters cover such topics as: why the best move of the
endgame is to walk around the room as soon as the queens are exchanged.... |
