Oct-19-11		whiteshark: < Marat Makarov: The Endgame < A Chess Library for Practical Players < Chess Stars Ltd., 1. ed. 2007 <<>>>>> < It was a great pleasure for me to work with this wonderful book. The author Marat Makarov is a Grandmaster and he has been practicing as a coach for more than 20 years. Among his pupils is the USSR and Russian champion WGM Julia Demina. The book includes more than 300 skillfully selected endgame positions, which are of immense value for the practical player. It looks like you can encounter them in every tournament and I myself learned a lot from that book, while translating it. I believe this work is a necessity for every chess player’s library and it will ensure for you plenty of well-deserved points in your chess games. > ~ GM Evgeny Ermenkov
