5.0 out of 5 stars A superb, instructive book!, June 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Rate Your Endgame (Cadogan Chess Books) (Paperback)

This book is a must-read for anyone who knows the basic mates and understands the opposition who doesn't know what to study next in this all-important phase of the game. The exercises are enjoyable, tough, thought-provoking, and instructive, and working through them is almost like having a master-level teacher at your side.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very illuminating on how to think about real endgames, November 15, 2007

This review is from: Rate Your Endgame (Cadogan Chess Books) (Paperback)

Unlike many endgame books, which provide information about standard positions, this Crouch + Mednis book teaches HOW TO THINK about real games moving to or in the endgame. It is very clear, well-written, and has great practical application.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best endgame books, January 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Rate Your Endgame (Cadogan Chess Books) (Paperback)

For most chessplayers, even very strong ones, studying the endgame is painfully boring. This book is one of the few genuinely entertaining and instructive books available on this subject. The book concentrates on practical endgame situations, rather than bore the reader with such stuff as mate with B and N, which one may be required to perform once every five thousand games or so.
