My new book

ChessEndgameStrategy
"Chess Master's Endgame Strategy"

Currently, I am finishing work on a book about endgame strategy. Just like my previous books, it will contain examples from my own games. Some people believe that good books should be based on games played by world champions or at least grandmasters. In my opinion, this is one of the misconceptions that we often encounter in life. Firstly, those examples are often repeated in many books, making the book less original. Secondly, those examples can be quite complicated and difficult to explain.
My goal, however, is for my books to be original and to reflect my unique perspective on chess, derived from my knowledge and experience gained over more than 45 years spent with chess. And, of course, I want them to be of very high quality :)
The book cover, on the other hand, reflects my second passion in life - music. The idea was based on the cover of the album "Foxtrot" by the band Genesis, back when Peter Gabriel was still part of the group, and he happens to be one of my favorite vocalists. The artwork was brilliantly done by Patrycja, to whom I extend my heartfelt thanks :)
You can see the cover of the album that served as inspiration on this website: https://www.behance.net/gallery/160787791/FOX-THE-CHESSMASTER-illustration-book-cover.
Sometimes in endgames, just like in life, "magic" appears. And as an encouragement, here is one such magical moment.
