Jeremy Silman
For more than 100 years, the world's leading chess players and teachers have
told their students to study the endgame. Now, for the first time, a revolutionary,
richly instructive endgame book has been designed for players of all levels.
Silman's Complete Endgame Course, by famed writer and player Jeremy Silman,
is the one and only endgame book you'll need as you move up the ladder from
beginner to strong tournament player and finally to master.
Designed to "speak" to a player in a very personal way, Silman's book teaches
the student everything he or she needs to know at his or her current rating level,
and builds on that knowledge for each subsequent phase of the player's
development. Starting at the beginner's level, all basic mates are clearly and
painstakingly explained. After that, the critical building blocks that form the
endgame foundation for all tournament hopefuls and experienced tournament
competitors are explored in detail. Finally, advanced endgame secrets based on
concepts rather than memorization are presented in a way that makes them easy
to master.
The basic keys to a well-rounded endgame education--Opposition, the Lucena
and Philidor Positions, Cat and Mouse, Trebuchet, Fox in the Chicken Coup,
Triangulation, Building a Box, Square of a Pawn, Outflanking, the Principle of Two
Weaknesses--are vital. But equally important is creating a love of the endgame,
which is addressed at the end of the book with a look at chess tactics, minor piece
domination, and a discussion of the five greatest endgame players of all time--all
things that every fan of chess at every level can enjoy.
If you have found the endgame to be a mystery, if you have found that your
confidence plummets once you reach an endgame, if you have searched for an
instructive endgame book that will turn your weakest link--your endgame--into
your personal field of power, your search is over. Silman's Complete Endgame
Course is the key to a world of essential ideas, startling beauty, and stunning
creativity.
