Grandmaster Preparation: Endgame Play
Jacob Aagaard
Jacob Aagaard presents the reader with a few key concepts in the endgame and invites him to test his skills with a lot of examples from recent tournament practice. Where many endgame books are theoretical and emphasize memorization, Endgame Play is based entirely in the real world, where the ability to react precisely in technical positions is a life skill.
"Solve your endgame problems with Endgame Play!
I strongly believe in training by solving exercises and Jacob Aagaard is a real master here. I often train my own students using the books from his Grandmaster Preparation series, and they really help on the way to becoming an International Master or hopefully even a Grandmaster.
With Endgame Play Jacob Aagaard has again proved convincingly that he is indeed one of the best chess authors of modern times."
From the Foreword by GM Karsten Müller

Reviews for Grandmaster Preparation: Endgame Play
GM Matthew Sadler, New in Chess "This is a fine book, possibly the finest of the Grandmaster Preparation series, and it is a book that is well worth your purchase."
John Hartmann "Jacob Aagaard covered all types of endgame in this book. As per his style of writing, He explained some positions first and then given problems in that chapter… I like each and every book written by Jacob Aagaard. In this book, I particularly like his explanation after each position and analysis is not too deep or too short."
Chessarticle blog "This book is a worthy part of this great series and the author shows once again that he has mastered his craft and that he is justly regarded as one of the world’s top authors and trainers… An absolute must for any serious chess study!"
