A true classic, now on Chessable

When you are serious about improving your endgame skills, it is time for Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual.



Perhaps the best known and most respected instructor of world-class chess players, the late Mark Dvoretsky produced a comprehensive work on the endgame that will reward players of all strengths.



For those ready to immerse themselves in endgame theory, there may be no better manual available today. But, even if you do not play at master level, the book has been designed to help your endgame too.



Newly-adapted for Chessable

Before it's release on Chessable, Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual was by far and away the most requested course among our members.



Converting it was the biggest project we have yet undertaken and we took special care to ensure it is presented exactly the way Mark Dvoretsky intended in print.



Just like the original, basic theories and "must-know" concepts are highlighted in blue so you can skip the more complex analysis, focus on the text in blue, and still improve your endgame technique.



New features

To make this easier, we launched a completely new feature/setting for this course, called "Learn important only". It is enabled by default, and it allows you to study only the "blue highlighted" lines that Dvoretsky himself deemed essential to memorize.



When the print edition first appeared in 2003, Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual was immediately recognized by novice and master alike as one of the best books ever published on the endgame.



By the time the Fourth Edition was released it was enlarged and revised. Now on Chessable it is better than ever!



A timeless classic

Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual covers absolutely everything you could every possibly need to know about the endgame in the author's crisp and clear style. It is the course that will serve you for a lifetime.



John Watson, reviewing Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual at The Week In Chess, said: "Dvoretsky's analysis is staggering in its depth and accuracy."



In the preface, Grandmaster Jacob Aagaard said: "What really impresses me is the deep level of analysis in the book, All I can say is: This is a great book. I hope it will bring you as much pleasure as it has me."



Erik Sobjerg, for Seagaard Chess Reviews, said: "This is an extraordinary good chess book. To call this the best book on endgames ever written seems to be an opinion shared by almost all reviewers and commentators. And I must say that I am not to disagree."



And in the Washington Post, Lubomir Kavalek said: "[It] comes close to an ultimate one-volume manual on the endgame."



Make no mistake, this is widely-recognised as one of the best chess books ever. But our version is even better - it has all the beauty of Dvoretsky's words with the unique ability to train it!
