“It was a great pleasure for me to work with this wonderful book.
It includes more than 300 skillfully selected endgame positions, which are of immense value for the practical player. It looks like you can encounter them in every tournament and I myself learned a lot from that book, while translating it.
I believe this work is a necessity for every chess player’s library and it will ensure for you plenty of well-deserved points in your chess games.”
—GM Evgeny Ermenkov
