The FastTrack to Endgame Expertise!
Since it first appeared in 2003, Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual has been
acclaimed as the best single volume ever written on the endgame. With
staggering depth and accuracy, it clearly reveals the secrets of this
most important stage of the game.
One of the unique characteristics of the Endgame Manual has been the
highlighting of text considered to be essential to the understanding of
endgame theory. The late, great trainer Mark Dvoretsky carefully
selected the text to be highlighted so that players at all levels could
benefit from this monumental work.
Now in its fifth edition, the 440-page manual may seem somewhat
intimidating to some readers. With that in mind, German grandmaster
Karsten Müller and American grandmaster Alex Fishbein - both recognized
endgame experts in their own right - have collected the highlighted text
from the fifth edition and presented it so that the core concepts might
be more readily available.
The result is Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual: FastTrack Edition. As noted
by Australian grandmaster Ian Rogers in his foreword:
I am very pleased that Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual: FastTrack Edition
has come along. It is eminently suitable to sit in an amateur player's
library as their only endgame book, and equally good at preparing a
serious student for many other fine endgame books - not forgetting of
course the storied father of this volume, Dvoretsky's Endgame
Manual.
If you are serious about studying endgames, have a limited amount of
time, or are simply looking for a convenient way to improve your play in
endgames, the FastTrack Edition may just be the book you have been
looking for.
