Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual: Sixth Edition

The Sixth Edition of a Modern Masterpiece

When it appeared in 2003, the first edition of Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual was immediately recognized by novice and master alike as one of the best books ever published on the endgame. The enlarged and revised sixth edition – 504 pages – is better than ever! German grandmaster Karsten Müller, widely recognized as one of the best endgame theoreticians in the world today, has carefully updated the sixth edition with the help of American grandmaster Alex Fishbein.

Here is what Magnus Carlsen, the 16th World Champion, had to say in his foreword to the sixth edition:

“This book occupies a very special place in chess literature… Dvoretsky’s Endgame Manual will fill you with the joy and knowledge that will surely improve both your endgame skills and your understanding of our royal game.”

Here is what Vladimir Kramnik, the 14th World Champion, had to say in his foreword to the fifth edition:

“I consider it to be one of the very best chess books published in recent times…”

“Dvoretsky’s analysis is staggering in its depth and accuracy.” – John Watson in his review of the first edition in The Week In Chess.

“Dvoretsky’s Endgame Manual comes close to an ultimate one-volume manual on the endgame.” – Lubomir Kavalek in his review of the first edition in his Washington Post column.
