This special hardcover edition of 100 Endgames You Must Know celebrates
the sale of more than 25,000 copies of this modern chess classic. The
book's success since its first publication in English in 2008 can be
explained by its simplicity, its accessibility and its great instructive
value. If you've never read an endgame book before, this is the one you
should start with, said book reviewer GM Matthew Sadler. 'De la Villa
does a truly wonderful job of explaining useful endgames in a calm and
measured manner that is clear enough for any strength of player to
understand while still being interesting for stronger players.' Lots of
chess players agree. On Amazon, more than 500 readers left a book
review, and 84% awarded the book a maximum of five stars. The book
contains only those endgames that: - show up frequently - are easy to
learn - contain ideas that are useful in more difficult positions Your
performance will improve dramatically because this book offers you
simple rules with detailed and lively explanations. De la Villa has
since written two other endgame manuals, expanding his teachings of the
original '100 Endgames'. For further study, you can now use The 100
Endgames You Must Know Workbook and 100 Endgame Patterns You Must Know.
