There are stars to mark Key Squares, circles to mark critical squares, numbers to mark corresponding squares, different kind of "lines" drawn on the board to show you the advantageous positions (like the Troitsky line).In the simple mates, King , bishop and knight v. King, the path of the knight is drawn on the board to make for accuracy; the three phases of the mate are explained in great detail, so you can follow its complexity well on your own board, and learn it (I took a day to learn to master this difficult mate).It is a stimulating book, expounding master's knowledge in a clear way - I did not say "simple", because you will have to work at the examples; the examples are well explained.There are plenty of exercises, with annotated extensive solutions, to challenge your acquired knowledge A good bibliography refers to classics like Averbakh's series of study on the endgame in five volumes in Russian and in six volumes in German!!It even touches, although only fleetingly, on the theory of corresponding squares.More could have been written on this interesting visual approach, but space is limited.The book is compiled with the aid of computer technology for accuracy, BUT, and it is a big but, this is a human book, not a dry manual. It is a fascinating study (albeit a study, and this implies work, the result of which you should see fairly quickly). Already from the few pages I have begun to study, I have seen myself thinking in a more combinational way.Buy this book if you are a chess lover, it will help you. This is directed to beginners and intermediate players.You will not find it boring.(Were you not to like such a comprehensive text, they mention another good reference. although more simplified, it is : "Essential Chess endings" by James Howell. B.T.Batsford, 1997 - the latter could serve as a summary of the book reviewed)Get It! And become strong! It is worth the price!(Algebraic notation, of course) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ best one volume endgame book available *by A***R on 4 December 2009* The headline says it all. This is a great book. It has really paid itself back in the form of many won endgames in tournaments. I am 1950 ELO and there is so much valuable material in this book for me, but I would say it would suit all levels of players.The book is very clear and concise. There is a very good table of contents in the beginning of the book which is systematic and makes it easy to fint the relevant information you are looking for.I particularly like the fact that the amount of page material on the different types of endgames relates directly to the probability of those endgames occuring. I.e. the biggest chapter is on rook endgames since they occur very frequently in practical play and so on with the other type of games.What it all comes down to: This is the best modern 1-volume endgame book currently out there in my mind. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A useful addition to your chess library *by D***S on 10 January 2025* Whether you are starting your study of endgame or an experienced player wishing to add to your knowledge, this is a good book to read. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fundamental Chess Endings - Modern Chess Openings, 15th Edition - FCO: Fundamental Chess Openings --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/53125274-fundamental-chess-endings-a-new-one-volume-endgame-encyclopaedia-21st](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/53125274-fundamental-chess-endings-a-new-one-volume-endgame-encyclopaedia-21st) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-11*
