Please talk about the best books or even online tutorials for Endgame Studies .
I am reading these books and I am familiar with them But Steel I feel like I'm missing something:
1- Chess Endgame Training (Bernd Rosen,Gambit)
2- 101 Chess endgame tips (Steve Giddins,Gambit)
3-One Rook Saves the Day (TKACHENKO, Elk and Ruby)
Please introduce me more and better books
(Do you think Books are still good for learning Chess ?)
Dvoretzky's Endgame Manual - Dvoretsky
Fundamental Chess Endings - Müller & Lamprecht
First, please give a review of the books you do have! (I have another book of Giddins that I think is excellent.)
As for your question, if your rating of about 1000 is accurate, I'd suggest first a thin book that covers all types of endings starting with how to checkmate K&Q vs K, like Averbach's Chess Endings: essential knowledge. There are several other good choices here.
At 1000 very few games will go to a tricky theoretical ending. So I'd suggest next one on complex endings / endgame strategy like Chernev's book: Capablanca's greatest endings.
Then do the first book again then the second again. After that you should see your rating jump, a lot, and start winning drawn endings against higher rated players. Following those two there are lots of great choices but those are the 2 I wish I'd started with.
