The enlarged and revised fifth edition is better than ever! Here is what Vladimir Kramnik, the 14th World Champion, had to say in his foreword to the fifth edition: "I consider Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual an absolute must for every chess professional, and no less important even for a club player… I always recommend this book… I consider it to be one of the very best chess books published in recent times and I am very pleased with the new enhanced edition…" German grandmaster Karsten Muller, widely recognized as one of the best endgame theoreticians in the world today, has carefully updated the fifth edition with the help of American grandmaster Alex Fishbein. 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. Here's what they had to say about the first edition: "Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual ... may well be the chess book of the year … [It] comes close to an ultimate one-volume manual on the endgame." - Lubomir Kavalek in his chess column of December 1, 2003 in the Washington Post "Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual is quite simply a masterpiece of research and insight … Most of all, Dvoretsky's analysis is staggering in its depth and accuracy." - John Watson at The Week In Chess. 2003 Book of the Year - JeremySilman.com 2003 Book of the Year - Seagaard Chess Reviews Review: If you want one book to advance your chess game, this is it. - This is the book Hikaru Nakamura called the Bible of Endgames he used to work on his game in his younger days. Between the first chapter alone, then doing puzzles of the same type on one of the chess websites, I’ve already gained serious knowledge and understanding of how to achieve a winning game in this area, instead of a draw or a loss. Yes, it takes serious study, but doesn’t all of chess require a disciplined approach to study and winning on a consistent basis? If you take this book seriously, do the problems on a chessboard and understand the concepts, practice the concepts in puzzles over and over again to cement your knowledge and understanding of why and where to move your pieces, and at the right time and order, your endgame will surpass many levels, as opposed to winging it by the seat of your pants, hoping you grind out a victory and not blunder what could have been a definite win. If you want to win, this book is a worthy, serious investment (and how many times have I used the word ‘serious’ in this review) in your chess future.
