“The biggest problem when trying to train yourself is finding that high-quality material, especially for endgames. Endgame books tend to rehash the same classic examples because original endgame analysis is very difficult to do well. That’s why I’m so impressed with Aagaard’s ‘Endgame Play’. All of the examples in the book have been played in the last ten years and probably 99% of them were new to me. The quality of the analysis is absolutely top-notch as well.”

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.”

“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.”
