On endgame studies?
I meant studies in the sense of compositions.
Fundamental Chess Endings - has a higher niveau than the Silman book but not as high as Dvoretsky

*sigh*
Another ridiculous blundering post on chess.com, what a surprise.
Fundamental Chess Endings is at a slightly higher level than Dvoretsky but is less good at explaining. FCE contains ALL, even the extremely rarely ones. Having stumbled my way through it this makes FCE worse in some ways. They are still very similar books. Silman's endings is a completely different level of book altogether.
Secondly, what part of endgame studies did you not understand? He already clarified the post.

*sigh* another discourteous post where someone thinks of his opinion as a dogma. I think FCE is slightly lower level than Dvoretsky and explains very well. And now?
secondly, maybe I didn't understand the part he posted while I was just typing my reply. Did that cross your omniscient mind?
@OP: "Domination in 2545 Endgame Studies" or "Dvoretsky's Studies for Practical Players" might be what you are looking for.
Does anyone know a good source or a good book of endgame studies.
