Best end game study

Hi,

I'm looking for the best way to improve my end game. I often get myself through a fairly good opening and middle game, only to throw it all away in the end game. Are there any good ways to learn? Can anyone recommend any good endgame books? (My online chess rating at the moment is between 1700 and 1800)

Personally, I'd recommend Van Perlo's Endgame Tactics. It is quite remarkably compendious. 

Sillmans, complete endgame study book is great also.

I have Silman's Reassess your chess book and work book, which I like, so it will be worth looking into his stuff. 

I agree with baughman. Silman's is excellent. The studies are segregated into sections according to ranking

yes silman is one fine old chap. i can spend hours reading his books and working through the workbooks. he is the best. i love him. he is my fav

Gina's a knob!
