Essential endgame studies
This is one of the endgame books that was required for my endgame studies. I am training with a professional chess coach now, and this was one of the required books.

The study of king and pawn endings teaches you accurate calculation. Also, the evaluation of pawn endings that arise from trades tells you if the simplification is in your favor or not, so they are very practical and worth the work. All good endgame books (I like the classic Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual ), have a good chapter on pawn endings. There is even the nice book by Muller: Secrets of Pawn Endings , covering just pawn endings. But I found both of these books have fewer examples and few explanations than this book. If you really want to see all kinds of pawn endings and how to do the calculation this is the book. I use Dvoretsky as my main endgame textbook, and use Muller when I want a quick understanding of a class of pawn positions, but Averbakh is where you go when you want to see a comprehensive view - just like the name suggests. As an aside, I have several different ISHI Press books, and some have better production quality than others - but this one is very good! The diagrams are very easy to read and it is great that someone has brought this series back into press.

Excellent livre

Cheaply reprint of a very important reference work in chess ending literature! If u can afford, plz try to get the original Pergamon ones (or the “Batsford 7” + the Pergamon vol 5, Rook Endings).
