Russian International Master Mark Dvoretsky is perhaps the most respected chess instructor in the world today. His latest work, Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual, is sure to become a classic on one of the most difficult and subtle phases in chess. It covers all the most important positions required for endgame mastery, from elementary king-and-pawn endings to complex rook or queen endgames that have baffled even top grandmasters.
"I am sure that those who study this work carefully will not only play the endgame better, but overall, their play will improve. One of the secrets of the Russian chess school is now before you, dear reader!"
- from the Foreword by International Grandmaster
Artur Yusupov
"Going through this book will certainly improve your endgame knowledge, but just as important, it will also greatly improve your ability to calculate variations ... What really impresses me is the deep level of analysis in the book ... All I can say is: This is a great book. I hope it will bring you as much pleasure as it has me."

Eine hoch gelobtes Buch ist die "Endspieluniversität" von Mark Dvoretzky. Nun wird es auch in englischer Sprache herausgebracht und zeitgleich erscheint der im Vergleich zum Buch sogar noch erweiterte Inhalt auf CD (nur in englischer Sprache).
Das Werk bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über alle wichtigen Endspielthemen. Wie nur wenige Publikationen ist das "Endgame Manual" gleichermaßen für den Amateur wie den Profi von hohem Wert. Die vielen Übungsaufgaben geben dem Übenden die Gelegenheit, das gerade gewonnene Wissen sogleich in der Praxis zu erproben.
