A matter of endgame technique - Jacob Aagaard

The most hated cliche in chess is: And the rest is a matter of technique. In A Matter of Endgame Technique Grandmaster Jacob Aagaard deals with one of the few things chessplayers hate even more losing a winning position. No serious chessplayer is new to the misery of spoiling hours of hard work in a few minutes. A Matter of Endgame Technique offers the second-best happiness the misfortune of others as well as deep explanation of the underlying patterns of how and why we misplay winning endgames. At just under 900 pages, this hardcover book is actually six books in one, explaining the technical and practical areas of chess endgames plainly, simply and deeply. Endgame theory is well covered elsewhere; this book is all about technique and devoid of material to memorise.
