Endgames are a large weakness of mine and I would like to start training more (I hired a coach as I have not been able to formally learn chess almost ever) and would like to round out my game.

Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too. When it appeared in 2003, the first edition of Dvoretsky’s Endgame Manual was immediately recognized by novice and master alike as one of the best books ever published on the endgame. His works on the middlegame and endgame have set the standard by which other chess books are measured. With staggering depth and accuracy, it clearly reveals the secrets of this most important stage of the game.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.

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.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. The incredible instructional value of the exercises has been preserved, and the blue text used in the first four editions has been replaced with text with a light grey background.
