Mastering Complex Endgames

Practical Lessons on Critical Ideas & Plans

Published by New in Chess
Distributed by Simon & Schuster

About The Book

Young Daniel Naroditsky (1995) has picked the most instructive examples of endgames in which you have to use ideas and plans in order to outplay your opponent. This is not an encyclopaedia nor a manual on endings, which are usually helpful but boring, but a compendium of lively lessons and exercises. The positions that International Master Naroditsky uses should not be memorized, but understood, and his acclaimed didactic skills will take your endgame technique to the next level. Never before have the ideas that decide endings been explained so clearly. With exercise at the end of each chapter.

Raves and Reviews

An excellent book. Daniel Naroditsky is really a mature author for his young Age!
--Karsten Muller, author of Fundamental Chess Endings

It is amazing that Naroditsky writes with the routine of an old and experienced grandmaster. I cannot remember when I last saw so much text in an endgame book. The examples are well-chosen. The book does what it promises and that is quite a lot.
--Martin Rieger, Rochade Europa Magazine

I can't recall having read a better book on this general topic. It will not only broaden your understanding of these different types of endgames, it will also inspire you to study your own games.
--Carsten Hansen, Chess cafe

The author has done a very good job of explaining the key ideas and taking away some of the mystery and difficulty of these complex endings.
--Marshtower Chess Review

These types of endgames one sees regularly in game practice, and there is not a lot of instructional material around.
--Max Euwe Center, Amsterdam
