Z obálky: In this book, German-English Grandmaster Mieses has selected material from all types of endings relevant to players that vary from beginners to experienced club players. The first part of the book concerns itself mostly with relevant endgame techniques, whereas the second part includes a section with practical endgames played by various top players from Mieses' active career, such as Lasker, Tarrasch, Nimzowitsch, Rubinstein, Steinitz, Maroczy, as well as Mieses himself and several more from the classic period of chess up to the mid-1930. All the examples and the accompanying analysis have been re-examined by Carsten Hansen. There is lots of exciting material to examine and learn from for dedicated students.
