Hey, guys this is Tintin... 😉⚡

And I am thinking of buying an endgame book for my future chess improvement....

I really have this controversy of buying the Silman's and the Dvoretsky's Endgame books...

I need to choose only one of them for the rest of my improvement, with endgame studies and stuff.... I know a lot of endgames so u suggest me the book between these two....

Imo I consider the Dvoretsky's what do u suggest for a player in the future (2000+ elo range)?

Plz be honest of your choices....and it should be a rating of 1-10 and explanation why/why not...

Thanks and Regards,

Reporter_Tintin 😉🔦

I bought Silman's Endgame Book 10/10 cuz the chapters are based on a rating range so u won't waste time reading endgames that u wont face in ur rating range. Like u just gotta read the chapters in ur rating range then when ur rating goes to the next range read that chapter happy.png I suggest u buy Silman's Endgame Book

Dvoretsky will be better for you. He will make you study hard and you will have a small endgame encyclopedia in your hand.

Start with something lighter, e.g. De La Villa's "100 endgames you must know".

Silman no doubt! He’s a fantastic writer and an even better teacher! Unlike most endgame books his isn’t dry and won’t have you going over anything you won’t need to.

I've heard quite a few IM and GM players say that people shouldn't even consider Dvoretsky's book until they're trying to become an IM. It's known for being a very difficult book that even professional players struggle with. Either Silman's book or Jesus de la Villa's 100 Endgames You Must Know are the most recommended for club/tournament players.

if you have to ask, the answer is silman

Silman is a great read for amateur players. Dvoretsky probably for pros.

I find Silman's book pretty useful, and I have bought it. I am not sure how is Dvoretsky's book is because I haven't bought it.
