100 endgames you must know : vital lessons for every chess player

The bad news is that, all the same, the endgame technique of most players is deficient. Modern time-controls make matters worse: there is simply not enough time to delve deep into the position.

This book contains only those endgames that show up most frequently, are easy to learn and contain ideas that are useful in more difficult positions. performance will improve dramatically because this book brings you simple rules, detailed and lively explanations, many diagrams, clear summaries of the most important themes and dozens of tests.\"--Amazon.com.
