El arte del final de partida

The Art of the Endgame is an English-language paperback chess book by Jan Timman, presented here in a revised and expanded edition focused on chess endgame studies.

What this book covers

This book is for readers who want to deepen their understanding of endgame studies, chess composition and endgame training. Timman looks at selected studies by other composers and shows how they helped shape his own original work.

That makes The Art of the Endgame more than a collection of positions to solve. It also offers a clear view of the creative side of chess and the analytical discipline behind endgame study.

Revised and expanded edition

This edition has been updated with the help of chess engines. Timman removed six studies, replaced another six with improved versions, and added fourteen new studies, including two published here for the first time.

The result is a more up-to-date version of the book that preserves the original concept while reflecting modern computer analysis.

It is a strong choice for chess players, coaches and readers interested in chess composition who want a book with both training value and a deeper look at endgame ideas.
