Descripción

Endgame Corner 450 Instructive Endgame Exercises 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.

A “Must” Addition to Your Library

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

Endgame

Mark Dvoretsky included exercises in his excellent Endgame Manual. Our book is meant less as an endgame manual but more as your endgame proving ground. By selecting many exercises of diverse themes, we have tried to give you the chance to become comfortable with each theme as you solve more positions.

We have also added a scoring system, which will measure your endgame strength, allowing you to track it over time. Your “Endgame ELO” (the meaning of which should not be overestimated, by the way) will help you find weak spots, guiding you to study the relevant chapter of Dvoretsky’s Endgame Manual (“DEM5”) again. Themes which we consider most important (practically or theoretically) have an abundance of examples. There are also many positions which specifically train calculation and visualization.
