Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual (2nd edition) Mark Dvoretsky
Publisher: Russell Enterprises

Let us start by The reason I like this book is that Dvoretsky right away gives you gist of the position in one sentence. It's the third book I have by the two authors and the fourth by Dvoretsky. Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual is an excellent reference for theoretical endgames. One the benefits playes of all level. So I am really eager to start reading what's endgame. The result is that at some point you end up clock-watching, waiting for the allotted time to end, or studying half-heartedly (e.g. I bought a used copy of 'Training for the Tournament Player' by Mark Dvoretsky & Artur Yusupov. I started to wonder how many Dvoretsky books there are and came up with the following list • Secrets of Chess Training (Batsford 1991) • Secrets of Chess Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual (Russell Enterprises 2006) Note the two series. Indeed, just the first hour of focused problem-solving is tiring enough to make it difficult to engage fully with the challenging material which follows (Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual). The book, Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual 2nd Edition consists of 402 pages with lots and lots of endgame materials. Watching a DVD passively, without taking notes, or reading a book without subjecting the author's opinions to your own analysis).
