For over 100 years, the world's leading chess players and teachers
have told their students to study the endgame. Now, for the first
time, a revolutionary, richly instructive endgame book has been
designed for players of all levels. This is the one and only
endgame book youll need as you move up the ladder from beginner to
tournament player and master. Designed to "speak" to a player in a
very personal way, Silman's book teaches the student everything he
or she needs to know at his or her current rating level, and builds
on that knowledge for each subsequent phase of the players
development. Starting at the beginners level, all basic mates are
clearly and painstakingly explained. After that, the critical
building blocks that form the endgame foundation for all tournament
hopefuls and experienced tournament competitors are explored in
detail. Finally, advanced endgame secrets, based on concepts rather
than memorization, are presented in a way that makes them easy to
master. The basic keys to a well-rounded endgame education --
Opposition, the Lucena and Philidor Positions, Cat and Mouse,
Trebuchet, Fox in the Chicken Coup, Triangulation, Building a Box,
Square of a Pawn, Outflanking, the Principle of Two Weaknesses --
are vital. But equally important is creating a love of the endgame,
which is addressed at the end of the book with a look at chess
tactics, minor piece domination, and a discussion of the five
greatest endgame players of all time -- all things that every fan
of chess at every level can enjoy. If you have found the endgame to
be a mystery, if you have found that your confidence plummets once
you reach an endgame, if you have searched for an instructive
endgame book that will turn your weakest link -- your endgame --
into your personal field of power, your search is over. The book is
the key to a world of essential ideas, startling beauty, and
stunning creativity.
