This is a major event in chess publishing. Two German endgame
experts have produced a masterful one-volume encyclopedia which
covers all major endgames. This, the first truly modern
single-volume endgame encyclopedia, supersedes all previous works
of this type by being far more accurate and readable. This is no
dry reference work; throughout the work, the authors emphasize the
practical elements of endgame play: principles, rules of thumb and
thinking methods. They also provide a feast of detailed analysis
for those looking to study the endgame in depth. Unlike previous
books of this type (the most recent of which is now eight years
old), Fundamental Chess Endings makes full use of endgame
tablebases and the analytical engines that access these tablebases.
As a result, where previous authors could only make educated
guesses, in this book, the authors can often state the definitive
truth, or get much closer to it. Throughout, the emphasis is on the
general principles that can be extracted from detailed theory,
making Fundamental Chess Endings both an ideal endgame reference
work and a book that can profitably and enjoyably read from start
to finish. With new time controls meaning that competitive games
are played to a finish, it has become especially important that
chess-players understand the main endgame principles. Fundamental
Chess Endings sets the mark for which all others will aim.
