i only know Convekta has software with endgame tactics i believe. But book i dont know.
Chess endgame problem book?

This site actually has some good problems too. Fine wrote a book with a lot of endgame strategy etc. Check it out if you want!

Perhaps 1000 Checkmate Combinations by Henkin or the big Polgar book Chess: 5334 Problems, Combinations and Games.
Polgar's Chess: Endgame tome has 4560 endgame positions, but I think it's getting harder to find.
There's Rate Your Endgame, Mednis and Crouch. Flear's Test Your Endgame Thinking.
But for exercises, I like Chess Steps and Yusupov books the best. Chess Steps has some endgame chapters in steps 3, 4, 5. Getting just the workbooks is cheap, and the rest of the exercises (mostly tactics) should be good for your chess too.
@mldavis: that's odd, he's asking for endgame technique, and you give him two books on checkmates...

That's why I'm rated below most of you. I thought checkmate was the object of endgame play but I'm wrong.
but the endgame problems on chesstempo arent really about teaching cool techniques you can use, its more of do simple stuff in the shortest amout of moves moves...

but that is pretty much what endgame technique is all about.... playing accurately and not wasting tempo, unless you're using triangulation or trying to set up a zugzwang obviously.

no its not about that, you get completly winning position, hell one move more or less makes absolutly no difference. Even a 1000 rated player could do that, if you do convekta you learn imaginative tactics. with imaginative pawn breaks and all other cool endgame stuff. actually you learn fundamental endgame technique with convekta, with chesstempo you waste your time you could spend on much more productive work

A great endgame problem book is Theory and Practice of Chess Endings by Alexander Panchenko, I think it is just what you are looking for.
You can find it on chessok.com and/or amazon.com

I have theory and practicy of chess endings (the cd/dvd version) and chess endgame training. But i cant remember the difference but i think both are pretty good and have endgame puzzles (from real games). But to be honest i havent gone into it too much, i did mostly ct art and encyclopedia of combinations.
The theory and practice is really really nice, it has some interesting text, not too much but whats there is still interesting. Both have nice endgame tactics from actual games i believe.
Hello, i would like to work on my endgame technique. Is there a book with just problems, like endgame positions for the student to work on? Not really a manual like silman, but something like a tactics book but in this case purely endgame problems.
