About this product

Product Information

Why is it that most strong chess players recommend to other players a definite study of the endgame? Because it is the surest road to winning, and quick improvement, when playing those protracted or strategic struggles. And what about our author, International Master C.J.S. Purdy, what was his stance? In How Purdy Won, The Correspondence Chess Career of a World Champion, the vast majority of Purdy's wins in the finals were in the endgame -- the proof is always in the actual examples. In Purdy's Guide to Good Chess he espoused the endgame, even offering some important advice missing from many instructional manuals. Now, in One the Endgame, Purdy's wisdom on the endgame from his chess publications Australasian Chess Review, Check, and his legendary Chess World, offer anecdotal stories and great examples on one of the most pleasant ways to learn the last phase of chess, the endgame. The topics are entirely practical and offer anyone a significant opportunity to improve their handling of the pieces as well as learn their true value when that time comes to cash in the point. The late Cecil Purdy was a brilliant expositor of good chess play, writing, and teaching; Prof. Ralph Tykodi compiled and coaxed; Frank Hutchings and John Purdy co-edited; and Grandmaster Karsten Muller checked the book for accuracy and made valuable improvements.

Chessmeister is my favorite seller for his thorough descriptions, superb packing, rapid shipping and gentlemanly communication. Also to be included in this is Chessmeister's conservative grading of books, DVDs and Blu-rays. He listed this Blu-ray/DVD combination as "Very Good,” but the expired digital copy aside, both discs and the case appear to be like "Like New." Great price too. Obviously, I'm very pleased and will buy from Chessmeister again. Very highly recommended!
