A thorough, example-driven course on bishop endgames from FIDE Senior Trainer Efstratios Grivas, with a foreword by GM Romain Edouard (Thinkers Publishing, 2017). It is built around rules, recurring patterns and key positions rather than a table of positions to memorize.

The material is organized by theme and worked through with annotated studies and master games. It opens with the fundamentals, bishop versus pawns and the rules for when a lone bishop draws or loses against passed pawns, before working through the main types of bishop ending, each shown with diagrams and full analysis and reinforced by exercises.

Best for: club and tournament players who want to handle these endings by understanding rather than rote. Intermediate to advanced.
