What's your favorite endgame book? There seem to be three popular ones that compete for the top spot, and they are compared here:
chessgoals.com/3-best-chess-endgame-books/Personally, Silman's Endgame Course is my favorite, and I like that it's split up into rating levels.
I also have 100 Endgames you Must Know on Chessable, but haven't taken a look at the Dvoretsky Endgame Manual.
I really like Dvoretsky’s Endgame manual because it isn’t so basic. I’m sure at your level it would be great, some of the stuff can be really complex yet still very important to understand. Though I haven’t read the others and I am no National master....
Personally never had an endgame book, but might get one in the future, so I'm intrested in what people's favourite endgame books might be.
Dvoretsky's can become tiresome very quickly. I'd recommend Silman's, though it tends to treat the reader like a kid most of the times which puts me off honestly.
Kasparov said Dvoretzky is the best, for amateurs and professionals alike.
I probably need to purchase Dvoretsky at least for the more advanced chapters. Playing through endgames with a friend OTB is one of my favorite ways to study.
Pretty much into detail goes Yuri Averbakh's "Comprehensive Chess Endings".
does anyone like 200 brilliant endgames, by irving chernev? i have it..............er...........i haven't read it.... it's annotated,you name him, he's in here...............it seems like a cool little book.... quite a variety of interesting endgames. not, like, a textbook of everything you need to know, but i'd guess ifyou worked through it at your leisure, it would be pretty instructive............. it was his last book. i *guess* he was kind of a rival to fred reinfeld, except reinfeld seemed like a compulsive book writer...
Mikhail Shereshevski - Endgame Strategy
Paul Keres - Practical Chess Endings
I read them all. :) Currently FCE
