Whats ur favorite endgame book?

There are many good books.

A lot of people suggest De la Villa book on endgames. Winning Chess Endgames is written by Seirawan which in my opinion is a great player and chess teacher, look those 2 books up,they are great.

Yes, I saw the videos. It was cool but there was too much talking.

My favorite endgame material is two Queens!

As far as books go, I learned from the old Reuben Fine Endgame book and successfully taught people with it, so it's not bad.

I do have de la Villa's 1000 Endgames You Must Know and like the format of 9 Basic Endings, then 6 patterns of N and P Endings, etc.

I also have Silman's Complete Endgame Course from Beginner to Master and like the groupings by rating.

James Howell : Essential chess endings. Maybe wrong to call it my favourite as it's the only ending book I've ever looked at. It was brilliant though.

Before buying any particular book, I suggest going to the publisher site to see if it is possible to view a sample.
