Jesus de la Villa (1958) is an International Grandmaster born in Spain. He is a successful author and a well-known chess trainer. He has twice won the Spanish Championship.
His book ‘100 Endgames You Must Know’ is an international bestseller.
Since my first book on endings (100 Endgames You Must Know) was published, I have received suggestions and criticisms from club players and trainers in different countries.
For some time I have been convinced that it is not possible to make progress without listening to other people’s opinions. Criticism is the best fuel you can find.

A frequent suggestion is that the book could have been simpler. In fact, when I put it together, it was my intention that it should be simpler than the ones I had studied,
but clearly it is very advanced for those who are just starting out in the world of chess, or who have never studied endgame theory.
From those considerations, and at the suggestion of my editor, who also thought that it was a good idea, there has emerged the need to make this new book,
in which I’m attempting to compile the 100 most basic endings which are at the same time the most useful in practice.
