[ report abuse ] | Silman Endgame Book
Message:
If there is an endgame book that I will recommend, it would be Silman's "Complete Endgame Book". This book is different from other endgame books in terms of presentation. Other endgame books categorize endings accoring to pieces i.e., rook endings, bishop endings etc. However, Silman divided the material according to rating. This has its benefits. For one, you only need to learn endgames within your rating range. Once you go over your rating, then its time you learn other "advance" endgames. Still, there is no harm in reading the book in its entirely. For me, its easy to read and comprehend.
Hope this helps

Keres: "Practical chess endings"
Great for a practical player. Books on endgames tend to be huge and not exactly practical, this one has everything that is needed.
Silman's concept sounds good and if the book is really well written you can give it a go.
