100 Endgames You Must Know

1. “Studying the endgame is boring”
2. “I quickly forget half (if not 90%) of the endings I look at”
3. “I can’t find a book with good explanations”
4. “My games never reach the endgame”.

Sounds familiar? Then 100 Endgames You Must Know, which arrived yesterday, may be just the book for you.

Former Spanish champion and successful coach GM Jesus de la Villa has selected only those endgames that:
- show up most frequently
- are easy to learn
- contain ideas that are also useful in more difficult positions.

De la Villa will improve your performance with simple rules, detailed and lively explanations, many diagrams and clear summaries of the most important themes.

In short, this is a complete & accessible endgame instruction book on 248 pages, for just € 21.95! Please have a look here.
