This 100 Endgames You Must Know is a classic chess endgame book built around the positions that matter most in practical play, with a clear focus on the 100 endgames every serious player should recognise.
What the book covers
This first German-language edition brings together 100 important endgames chosen for their practical value and how often they appear over the board. The result is a book that works well for structured study and for regular review when you want to refresh key endgame ideas.
Endgame skill becomes especially important when the clock is running low. In those moments, knowing the basic mechanisms, plans and typical setups helps you make better decisions more quickly.

- expanded, easy-to-follow explanations,
- many diagrams to make the positions easier to track,
