## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A classic text, with each edition meticulously checked and improved
*by P***I on July 11, 2019*

The late Mark Dvoretsky had the justified reputation of being the world's best chess trainer, and this book shows why. He writes vividly, and here, his lessons are reinforced with "tragi-comedies", situations where even well-known players made mistakes that caused them to miss wins or lose. This book has gone through 4 editions, each edition containing fixes of errors (detected through computer analysis) in previous editions.I'd recommend buying this book along with Muller and Lamprecht's Fundamental Chess Endings, which starts with material targeted to weaker players, but is largely complementary . Dvoretsky does not claim to cover all endings, only the common ones. However certain uncommon endings have occurred in grandmaster play: GM Ilia Smirin failed to win a K+B+N vs K ending, which Muller and Lamprecht cover.For mastery in certain endgames, e.g., K+R+P vs K+ B, or K+Q vs K+R (+P), it's advisable, as Dvoretsky recommends, to use a chess program that can utilize an endgame tablebase (there are several free tablebases available) to play a perfect endgame. Neither book can cover all the subtleties in these endings, and there are many: GM Peter Svidler drew a K+Q vs K+R endgame with Boris Gelfand that he should have won, after exceeding the 50-move limit.I'd recommend the (cheaper and more legible) Kindle edition rather than the paper copy, which, as some other reviewers note, has problems. The Kindle edition also uses the Blue-font-color-for-essential, Black-for-optional approach, but in an electronic medium, the contrast is clear.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Advanced but worth it's salt.
*by A***E on December 25, 2017*

A very comprehensive manual to the endgame, but only for those who already have a strong grasp of intermediate endings and endgame technique. It doesn't go much into basics so this probably should not be your first or even second endgame book. Dvoretsky separates the endgames into blue text and black text, the blue text being the essential and more fundamental positions. For U1900 players, the Blue text is plenty sufficient for your endgame needs and is still useful to much stronger experts. If you've exhausted your encyclopedia of endgames and need to sharpen your knowledge this is a reputable and trusted source to meet your goals of mastery in the endgame.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a huge book
*by A***N on December 17, 2019*

With a lot of different endgame concepts that I never even knew existed. I just got through part of the first chapter dealing with king and pawn endgames, and this I got to say is the ultimate training practice manual for endgames. A NM I know said it is the best endgame in the world, and I believe he is correct. I will try and post another review after I finish reading it, but for now I just got to say I was blown away with the amount of ideas there where on king and pawn endgames. I learned about basic endgame ideas in the past, but this manual allows you to practice those ideas at an expert level, and also, gives 50 more ideas! Good book!
