Read Review

Chess books on the endgame, the most important area of study according to most coaches. They are divided into theoretical endgames, those that cover technical positions such as the Lucena, complex endgames, books that focus on endgame strategy, principles, and patterns, and feature positions we cannot solve with tablebases, and puzzle and studies collections, which, similarly to the same category in middlegame books, contains problems for the reader to solve instead of teaching theory.
