Rezensionen

"The perfect supplement to De la Villa's manual. To gain sufficient knowledge of theoretical endgames you really only need two books. You start with studying 100 Endgames You Must Know. Next you test what you learned with The 100 Endgames You Must Know Workbook." International Master Herman Grooten, Schaaksite "The right way to enhance your endgame technique." International Master Gary Lane, Chess Moves Magazine "Very good are the extensive explanations with the solutions, which directly refer to the theoretical endgames." International Master Jeroen Bosch, Schaakmagazine "A wealth of material which will serve to reinforce the lessons presented in De la Villa's seminal work. If you wanted more material to help master the technique of, say,

rook and pawn against rook, it can be found here, in abundance, and amongst some hundreds of exercises for the reader to solve." CHESS Magazine "De la Villa has chosen his material carefully and explains things well. A careful study of thisbook will pay definite dividends for players from 2000 on up." International Master John Donaldson "Challenges the reader with examples and puzzles that have their basis on the instructional material in the original book. This is a very good book." Carsten Hansen, American Chess Journal "Hundreds of diagrams with training material and extensive explained solutions. It's obvious that De la Villa's two books will serve all chess teachers extremely well." B.H.Wilders, Nederlands Dagblad "Definitely a book to have for those who are interested in improving their chess. And of course one should also have the first book of the series. I believe these two books are all one needs to learn all types of frequent endgames encountered in tournament practice. They can also be used by coaches or teachers in schools for giving the students interesting positions to solve, or homework." Davide Nastasio, Georgia Chess News
