Dvoretsky’s Endgame Manual – 6th Edition when it appeared in 2003, the first edition of Dvoretsky’s Endgame Manual was immediately recognized by novice and master alike as one of the
best books ever published on the endgame. The enlarged and revised sixth edition – 504 pages – is better than ever! German grandmaster Karsten Müller, widely recognized as one of the
best endgame theoreticians in the world today, has carefully updated the sixth edition with the help of American grandmaster Alex Fishbein.

“Dvoretsky’s analysis is staggering in its depth and accuracy.” – John Watson in his review of the first edition in The Week In Chess.

Lubomir Kavalek in his review of the first edition in his Washington Post column.
Dvoretsky’s Endgame Manual
Endgame theory is not a complicated subject to study! All one needs is thorough knowledge of a limited number of “precise” positions (as a rule, elementary ones) plus some of the most
important principles, evaluations, and standard techniques. The question is, how to select the most important material from the thousands of endings analyzed in various handbooks?
That is why this book was written: it offers the basic information you need as the foundation of your own personal endgame theory. As long ago as 1970, when I was just a young
chess master and a student at Moscow University, I was unexpectedly invited to give some endgame lectures to the chess faculty of the Moscow High School for Sports.
6th Edition
It was then that I had to think about what exactly a practical chess player must study. I defined sound methods of studying endgame theory (from the point of view of logic, rather obvious ones)
and prepared examples of the most important types of endgames (pawn, rook-and-pawn endgames, and those with opposite-color bishops).
I also prepared a series of lectures on the general principles of endgame play. By the way, the main ideas of that series became (with my permission) the basis of the popular book
Endgame Strategy by Mikhail Shereshevsky (I recommend that book to my readers).
