Chess Endgames for Club Players

After the success of his award-winning classics,"Chess Strategy for Club Players and Attacking Chess for Club Players", Herman Grooten has now written an equally instructive 400-pages endgame manual. Building on his experience as a player and coach, Grooten takes an original approach to convey his message: the endgames are divided according to theme, not chess material. This is a novel, but very effective way to learn the ins and outs, since many themes can occur with different material balances. The book is richly illustrated with many examples from practical play, as well as endgame studies, which present the motifs in their purest and most attractive form. The result is a lively and highly instructive guide to the endgame.
