    New work of the honored trainer of Belarus, the author of the classic works `` Endgame Strategy '' and `` Endgame Contours '', & ndash; about understanding modern play in a complex game endgame. From the foreword of the 14th world champion Vladimir Kramnik: “In my youth, when I was just starting to study chess, one of the, one might say, 'bibles'. on the game endings was a book by the same author, Endgame Strategy. She was considered `` canonical '', all the coaches in the Soviet Union recommended to their students: `` Read Shereshevsky! '' I myself have carefully studied this book, and I really liked it. I heard that Magnus Carlsen also liked her & ndash; of course, many years later. The book `` With youth '' into the endgame '' continues the same line, but it would certainly be unfair to call it 'second edition' & ndash; there are a lot of new things in it. And not just additional fresh examples (this two-volume book is probably 3-4 times larger than a Soviet paperback book), but also original concepts, new approaches to studying the endgame. ” The book is addressed primarily to young chess players, their coaches and parents, but will be useful to all chess lovers, regardless of age and qualifications.
