Last week I had a game OTB that ended up in a rook-ending and when we had promoted the pawns and exchange the rook, there was a Queen-ending......I lost it.
Now I understand that I nead to study end-games carfully. I know the basics. I have some books at home. Can somebody give me a hint on how I can manage to be good in endgames untill July, this summer ???

This book is unique because the lessons are divided by rating categories. Very good one ! In chessmaster 10th there is very very large endgame course, it is very good !

Originally posted by ivan2908I really like it. I thought the early information (Class D, C, B) was very easy but then offered a couple of the quizzes to the Mustang Clan in private forums with some very good players getting basic endgame material wrong.
What do you think about Silman's endgame course if you saw it ?
This more than anything else has convinced me not to take the early draw and instead just keep grinding until one of us (myself or my opponent) actually spots a decisive mistake.
