Good endgame book (Silman vs Pandolfini vs Nunn)

Hello,

   As roughly 1200 elo player I am looking for a first book on endgame, which I would like to by systematic (everything explained in a step-by-step manner), explicit, and relatively complete. I have shortlisted three titles, which are:

(1) Silman's Complete Endgame Course

(2) Pandolfini's Endgame Course

(3) Nunn's Understanding Chess Endgames

I will be very grateful for any suggestions concerning which choice I should make. Yours,

Daimonion

I've been through Silman's and it is everything you are asking for. I have learned a lot and continually return to it.

Thank you very much!

To HarleyQuinn - why do you prefer Nunn? Could you tell something more on Howell and Keres (they are old, so I cannot preview them on the web)?

I am fond of Pandolfini's book because the presentation is clear-cut and to the point. Another noteworthy book is "Chess Fundamentals" by Capablanca.

Pandolfini's book is ripe with errors, as HarleyQuinn noted. It is concise, though. I revisit Silman's Endgame Course occasionally, I like the way it's set up. Not familiar with Nunn's......

Thank you very much. I've considered your advices and Amazon's preview and decided to take Pandolfini (with errors corrected according to Dan Heisman's website) first - I do like the way it presents material in little easy to comprehend "pieces". As soon as I work through it I will go for Silman (I hope it'll serve for longer) and, possibly, Nunn. All the best!

To HarleyQuinn - have not your responses simply disappeared?!

I've never been able figure out why that happens. It is not just [comments deleted], but the entire post. Weird.
