100 Endgames You Must Know: Vital Lessons for Every Chess Player

Product Information

I remember going over some of these endgames before at various times in my chess career and in varying detail. The beginning chapters were fantastic, but as the book progresses, the difficulty and impracticality of actually memorizing these endgames becomes a reality. So I am not sure if it is the best book for endgames or if the collection is good but still it is annoying. This big is a masterpiece, although not all Endgame knowledges were covered, everyone who reads this book will surely absorb one hundred percent of it's knowledge, just by reading it once!

It guides the reader through all vital and practical endgames, giving the reader a great foundation and general endgame understanding. De la Villa presents those that have the greatest practical importance and explains and illustrates them with carefully selected examples.I highly recommend it to chess players of all levels, but if you are a beginner, intermediate or casual player just start with Chapter 1 and 11 only. So if you picked up this book anticipating a method to checkmate with only a Queen and a King, you should look elsewhere.

My own assessment of Silman's material is that while it has rich instructive content, I find the style of presentation (cynical, demeaning of the players at times) unappealing.Former Women World Champion Alexandra Kosteniuk] said she had really enjoyed De la Villa's '100 Endgames You Must Know' and had made flashcards out of the 100 positions.
