Which endgame book?

I have recommended Chernev’s book, Practical Chess Endings, to students for decades. It is more accessible to lower-rated players than either the Silman Or the da Silva books—both of which are great but, IMHO, aimed at more experienced players.

Which would you recommend for my level, and why?

Thanks!

A clear recommendation is the "Siliman's Complete Endgame Course" for its approach to help a player gradually level up game by game. However, if you believe you have attained a good knowledge and want to learn more endgame strategies, the other one has 100 endgames to study, implement, learn, and create more variations of your own.
