This masterful one-volume encyclopedia, created by two German endgame specialists and covering all the major endgames, represents a major event in the field of chess book publishing.

This is the first truly modern one-volume endgame encyclopedia. Tablebases and analysis modules that access these tablebases are used to great effect; where previous authors could only make educated guesses, Müller and Lamprecht are often able to give the definitive truth, or at least come much closer to it.

New time controls mean that tournament games are played out in one sitting, so it is especially important that chess players understand basic endgame principles. This book provides comprehensive information for all players who want to study the endgame. In addition to a wealth of detailed analysis, the authors emphasize the practical side of the endgame by explaining rules of thumb, principles and methods of thinking.
