Title: Winning Chess Endings by Yasser Seirawan ISBN: 1-85744-348-9 Publisher: Everyman Chess Pub. Date: September, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $19.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.71 (7 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Great, enjoyable book on the endgame.
Comment: This book does not replace an endgame manual, not even at the beginner level. You could, for example, read Pandolfini's Endgame Course in its entirety and still get some value from this book. It is not complete.
It is simply fun. Seirawan explains the ideas in words. He throws in anecdotes, tension, and humor. He goes over some of the basics in excruciating detail (for example, King+Bishop+Knight v. King, which is extremely rare in practice). He includes complete master-level endings so that you can see how it's done. His discussion of rook endings (extremely common in practice) is helpful. He finishes with a very interesting chapter on the difference between grandmaster play and the theoretically perfect moves in computer generated tablebases.
Another enthralling re-print in the Winning Chess series. Most appropriate to about 1300 level, even with no prior endgame knowledge.
Rating: 5
Summary: Decent endings book
Comment: I'm around a 1400 player, and I found this book to be useful, for the most part (although I *still* have trouble with kbn-k!), as it will give you the ideas behind many endings. Yasser takes a building block approach, and constantly builds upon prior knowledge in a very effective way.
This is, by far, the best endgame book I own.
Rating: 5
Summary: If You Want No Nonsense...
Comment: If you want no nonsense instructions this is the book to go. Like all of Seirawan's books, it is explained with simplicity, but most of all it provides the tools you need.
