silman's complete endgame course is a great book. it is divided into rating levels so you can just read the sections at your level and ignore the more difficult sections until you improve.
as far as general advice, i'd suggest setting up various endgame situations (ex. piece vs. piece endgames) and working through them again and again until you can recognize the positions fairly well. your ultimate goal is to try and reach these positions through the middlegame (obviously easier said then done).
Hi,
I'm a beginner currently stuck at 1150 rating at chess.com.
I've been having this problem in middle-endgame (typically a few pawns and 2 pieces left on both sides) that i'm one or two pawns ahead and fail to win the game. It's happened over and over again. I've read a book on endgame and I have no problems with different mates or winning with only pawns left in the game but often somehow lose the advantage before getting the piece exchanges done.
I'm soon getting a book on general tactics (after reading these forums i get that i should have started with that :p) but besides that, do you know any tips, articles, maybe a book on this? Anyone had the same problem?
Thanks in advance!
