<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A new endgame encyclopaedia for the 21st century"--Cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In a major event in chess publishing, two German endgame experts have produced a masterly one-volume encyclopaedia that covers all major endgames.<br /><br />This is the first truly modern one-volume endgame encyclopaedia. It makes full use of endgame tablebases and analytical engines that access these tablebases; where previous authors could only make educated guesses, Müller and Lamprecht have often been able to state the definitive truth, or get much closer to it.<br /><br />New time-controls involve competitive games being played to a finish in one session, so it is especially important that chess-players understand the key endgame principles. This book provides comprehensive assistance for any players wishing to study the endgame. In addition to a feast of detailed analysis, the authors emphasize the practical side of endgame play, describing rules of thumb, principles, and thinking methods.<br /><br /><i>Fundamental Chess Endings</i> is both the ideal endgame reference work, and a work that can be read from start to finish. Notably, this very book was studied intensively by current World Champion Magnus Carlsen in his youth.<br /><br /><b>Karsten Müller</b> is a grandmaster from Germany who competes regularly in the Bundesliga and in international events.

Although theoretical in nature and fairly comprehensive in scope, the authors have tried to keep the reader on side with verbal explanations where required, and exercises to keep the book interactive. ... I have found no mistakes so far, so there is not too much more to say. If you only have one endgame book, it should be this one." - GM Jonathan Rowson<br><br>"A book has emerged that looks to be the new standard for endgame evaluations ... I recommend this book highly" - Cecil Rosner, <i>Winnipeg Free Press</i><br><br>"Müller has established a reputation in the chess world in the past few years as a paragon of accuracy and objectivity in the realm of endgame analysis" - IM Malcolm Pein, <i>Daily Telegraph</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Karsten Müller</b> is a grandmaster from Germany who competes regularly in the Bundesliga and in international events.
