EXCELLENT END GAME SOURCE

      I fully recommend COMPREHENSIVE CHESS ENDINGS CDCONVEKTA AVERBAKH For completeness and explanations it can't be beat. I use it a lot.

     I have had  a 5 volume set known to me as Yuri Averbak's Edgame Series

     for years.  The absolute best.

     Are we talking about the same endgame publication?

   I have the one CD WITH 4 THOUSAND PLUS POSITIONS EXPLAINED.

     cONCERNING endgames. I HAVE SEVERAL EXCELLENT FILES I will share. e-mail me at  chesskia@bellsouth and give me your e-mail address;also several tactic files.

I own Comprehensive Chess Endings and I agree it's an excellent at what it aims to be, a comprehensive endgame reference much like an encyclopedia. Of course, first invest in books that teach you to play the endgame like Silman, Seirawan, or Pandolfini.

transpositions, it's more or less the same set. Convekta released it on a CD. :)
