Matthew Sadler
«I enjoyed marveling at Carlsen’s astonishing ingenuity in finding new ways to tie up his opponents with only minimal material on the board. It would be a good book to inculcate juniors into the joys of playing endgames!»
«Elburg Chess Reviews»
«One of those must-have endgame books.»–
«CHESS Magazine (UK)»
«How does he do it? That is the question tackled by Karolyi. The Games are presented chronologically, so we can appreciate how the 16th World Champion has honed his skill, as well as try to copy a little of his technique in our own games.»
Johan Hut «Noord-Hollands Dagblad»
«Karolyi provides 91 examples of endgames in which Carlsen squeezes water out of a rock.»–
Hans Bohm, International Master «De Telegraaf (Holland)»
«Karolyi’s latest book on Carlsen will receive even more acclaim than his work on Karpov’s endgame technique. He has a pleasant style of analyzing: objective, not too many variations, with plenty of diagrams. He always ends with useful observations on Carlsen’s play.»
Karsten Muller, Grandmaster «Author of Fundamental Chess Endings»
«A real gem! Karolyi manages to entertain and instruct. When Magnus plays, it all looks so easy.»–
«It’s nice to be reminded of so many great moments!»–Simen Agdestein, Grandmaster
Chris Wainscott «On the Road to Chess Master»
«I think that this book would be useful to just about any chess player. If you are serious about improving, then this book is an excellent way to better your endgame skills. If you are simply a fan of Magnus Carlsen or of well-played chess, then this book is also for you! I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone.»
