About this product
 
This clear and thorough coverage of the most important, most frequently encountered endgame situations is one of the finest modern works on chess endings. With analysis of 331 examples, each with its own diagram, this book makes use of over 40 composed endgames by such famous figures as Cheron and Grigoriev, and of endings from 149 master games by such players as Smyslov, Marshall, Reshevsky, Tartakower, Keres, Euwe, Bronstein, Flohr, Botvinnik, Kotov, Capablanca, Alekhine, and many others.

In addition to approximately thirty examples of Queen endings, the book contains about a hundred examples each of Pawn endings, minor piece endings, and Rook endings. Each of these sections is precisely categorized. By working through all the examples in the book and the straight-forward rules for winning or losing in a given situation, the average chess player will gain an understanding of the ending that will be of immeasurable aid in any game situation.

About the authors: Dr. Max Euwe, a former world champion, is one of the most knowledgeable writers on chess and endgame theory; David Hooper is a master player and analyst who has himself written books on the endgame. Chess players who are familiar with other books on the endgame will find this to be one of the most useful books ever written on this area of chess.

An Excellent Endgame book. May 1, 2006
Reviewer: Mark from Florida  
Even though it is 45 years old, this book is great for the beginner and as an endgame refresher. It contains 331 examples, so it is easy to finish it before 6 months. I like the way it divides positional and material advantages, and the opposition and triangulation is also explained very nice. Max Euwe is a great writer.
