Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual (2nd edition) Mark Dvoretsky
Publisher: Russell Enterprises

Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual is an excellent reference for theoretical endgames. Amateur's Mind and Complete Endgame Course. I wholeheartedly endorse this - Reassess and Amateur's Mind are both incredibly useful, and the endgame book have a lovely approach to sequencing that lets you absorb what you need without your head exploding. The pawns stand on the same squares as in a key position in Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual, 2nd ed. However, Dvoretsky has the kings on b5 and b7. They're good enough (and modern enough!) to supplant My System and Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual, IMHO. @Tomasz Chessthinker Obviously there have been three attempts to do exactly this type of book. There is the Dvoretsky Endgame Manual, which is glorious, but too high level for most people. Let us start by The reason I like this book is that Dvoretsky right away gives you gist of the position in one sentence. I also recommend books with significant exposition as a sort of side entertainment.
