How to improve endgame !?

I often outplay my opponents in opening stage, most of the time in middle games, but when it comes to endgame I often give up games.

I've noticed playing with increment does improve your endgame.

What are the other options to improve in this last, very important stage ?

Endgame studies.  They're also fun.

Do this book, it helped me a lot. For each chapter it has excercises (for example the king and pawn endgames are split by cathegories: oposition, the reti maneuver, typical pawn structures, typical pawn breaks, typical maneuvers, pawn races, etc.)

 

p.s.: you can find it online in PDF version also.

Good one

I actually own Dvoretsky book endgame manual, which I haven't read yet at all , do you think I need your book or if I already have dvoretsky book it already covers all (I have latest edition, which says ALL endings are covered I this book)

www.arves.org has a database of, iirc, about 30,000 endgame studies.  You can search by what pieces and how many pawns you want to see on the board.  Perhaps the greatest composer was A. A. Troitzky, and there's also an Armenian guy whose name slips my mind, but he wrote a book "Domination".

Do both sounds simple of if i own both , but I don't own both and to own one it's not like I just push a button and someone delivers it to me.
