Study of the endgame offers great potential for improvement of one's playing strength because many moves belong the endgame and many, even if only small, mistakes easily amount to a large number of lost points. Therefore, everybody should study the endgame (and aspects of the endgame occurring during the opening and middle game) carefully. Despite the great importance of the topic, there have been too few English books on the endgame leaving too many gaps. Since this must be changed and everybody awaits new endgame books, the previous year I promised a book on the endgame and here it is!
Endgame 1 - Fundamentals, which is my 10th book, is available for EUR 26.50 (book) or EUR 13.25 (PDF only). It teaches all the fundamentals of the endgame for kyu players. The endgame theory is kept easy because value calculations are avoided. Half of the book has problems and answers. The theory is easier than the average problem so that the reader can overcome his current level of reading skill.
