The book: Silman's Complete Endgame Course: From Beginner to Master
Disclaimer: As I write my takeaways from the book, it is best that the readers should buy Silman's book if you are more interested. Of course, I will be posting my takeaways still and would want to provide my experience and understanding to what this book might become. I will not be specifying anything that might ruin the prestige of SIlman's book and I will try my best to really provide an insight and to rather formulate a concept or idea that would captivate your interest on reading his book.
Silman's Takeaways 1
On introduction, Silman wanted to introduce chess endgames that would adjust the focus of beginners to a path of linearity. Meaning, beginners will have a straight path where they won't be lost in the woods finding what's best for them, it is best that they follow a guide that will give them a boost from 0 to 100. According to Silman, beginners should be accounted for on increasing their tactical acumen that would substantially help them acquire such knowledge that is required to perform consistency on executing basic fundamentals of chess endgame.
In addition, Silman wanted to give all players hope and confidence and I would personally add that he wanted to let the players know that everyone, including the chess masters, started from scratch. Respectfully, Silman indicated on his introduction that in order to fully nurture the game's beauty, the players should give love and dedicate their time and effort passionately.
