Studies for Practical Players: Improving Calculation and Resourcefulness in the Endgame

Chess players spend much of their study time preparing openings, and rarely spend the time required to practice (much less perfect) the critical technique of calculating. Regular training in solving and playing out endgames studies is an excellent technique for eliminating that shortcoming. The training in this book is directed at developing resourcefulness, imagination, and the readiness to sacrifice material in pursuit of victory!

The author, Mark Dvoretsky, is one of the most respected chess instructors and authors in the world today. His books have been widely acclaimed for their depth and accuracy. The chess best-seller Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual is among his many books.
