The endgame is a subtle phase of the game many ordinary players
would like to improve. In taking the reader through over 150
instructive examples, taken mostly from his own games, Smyslov
covers a very broad range of positions - and provides an excellent
overall insight into the endgame as a whole. Unlike standard
endgame manuals, which concetrate purely on the most basic and
technical positions, this book has numerous examples with many
pieces on the board - the type of endgame you are in fact most
likely to reach. By learning from Smyslov's impeccable technique,
readers will improve their own endgame abilities - and results!
Grandmaster Vasily Smyslov is renowned for his artistic mastery of
the endgame, and his 1957 World Championship victory over Botvinnik
can be largely attributed to his unique gifts in this aspect of the
game. The winner of innumerable first prizes in international
tournaments, Smyslov became, at 61, the oldest player ever to
qualify for the World Championship Candidates Matches. Now in his
mid-seventies, he still participates constantly in international
events - with remarkable success.
