A year-long endgame course of one short lesson a day, by Heinz Brunthaler. Published by Thinkers Publishing in 2023 as Volume 4 of the Thinkers’ Chess Academy series with grandmaster Thomas Luther. Paperback, 285 pages.
The material is laid out as twelve months of daily study rather than sorted by endgame type, with an appendix at the end. The book sets out its own entry requirements plainly: roughly a year of playing experience, familiarity with basic tactics such as the double attack, skewer and discovered check, the ability to read notation, and the elementary king and queen and king and rook mates.
Best for: beginners moving toward club play who want structure and a daily habit.
