I searched that but I'm asking if it would be good for a intermediate player like me and is it better compared to dvoretskys endgame manual.

Why don’t you search in google if it’s a book for intermediate player and is it good than the book you mentioned?

Dvoretsky is too advanced for you. Go with Silman.

Get the Silman book first before thinking about buying the Dvoretsky book.

Silman's book is broken down by rating class.

I liked it. It's great for understanding. They only problem is there are not enough practical examples, so I am supplementing it with the Villanueva "100 endgames you should know" book.

It says from beginner to master. So I am sure it’s for intermediate players too!

Dvoretzky > Silman
Karsten Müller 'Fundamental Chess Endings' is good too
