Jesus de la Villa's worldwide bestseller 100 Endgames You Must Know
successfully debunked the myth that endgame theory is complex and
endgame books are necessarily tedious. Reviewers praised its clarity and
completeness and thousands of players significantly improved their
endgame understanding (and their results!). In the past couple of years,
De la Villa's students sometimes complained that when they had to apply
what they had studied in 100 Endgames, they didn't have the material
ready at their fingertips. And De la Villa made an important discovery:
most of their errors had already been made by others as well, even by
strong and sometimes famous chess players! De la Villa started
collecting training material and selected those exercises best suited to
retain your knowledge and avoid common errors. In this book the Spanish
grandmaster presents hundreds of exercises grouped according to the
various chapters in 100 Endgames. Solving these puzzles will drive home
the most important ideas, refresh your knowledge and improve your
calculation skills. This book contains a massive amount of clear,
concise and easy-to-follow chess endgame instruction. The advice De la
Villa gives in the solutions is practical and useful. Ideal for every
post-beginner, club player and candidate master who wishes to win more
games. (Spanish to English translation by Ramon Jessurun)
