One of the classic trilogy of books written by John Nunn when endgame databases first appeared, this book is now available for the first time in an electronic format. This new edition includes over 900 diagrams and a new layout designed especially for the Amazon Kindle.
It provides detailed coverage of all five-man endgames without pawns, together with the most interesting of the six-man endings. The use of databases ensures the correctness of the analysis, and reveals the amazing subtleties hidden in these apparently simple endgames.
