This is a major event in chess publishing. Two German endgame experts have produced a masterly one-volume encyclopaedia which covers all major endgames. It supersedes all previous works of this type by being far more accurate and readable. With new time-controls meaning that competitive games are played to a finish, it is especially important that chess-players understand the main endgame principles, so this is no dry reference work; throughout the book, the authors emphasize the practical elements of endgame play: principles, rules of thumb and thinking methods. They have also provided a feast of detailed analysis for those looking to study the endgame in depth.

Reviews for Fundamental Chess Endings

the authors have somehow managed to create that rare beast - a readable encyclopaedia. Although theoretical in nature and fairly comprehensive in scope, the authors have tried to keep the reader on side with verbal explanations where required, and exercises to keep the book interactive. ... I have found no mistakes so far, so there is not too much more to say. If you only have one endgame book, it should be this one. - GM Jonathan Rowson Muller has established a reputation in the chess world in the past few years as a paragon of accuracy and objectivity in the realm of endgame analysis - IM Malcolm Pein, Daily Telegraph A book has emerged that looks to be the new standard for endgame evaluations ... I recommend this book highly - Cecil Rosner, Winnipeg Free Press Winner of the British Chess Federation Book of the Year Award
