Reader’s Reviews:

Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual (DEM) is the gold standard in endgame instruction. I do believe that a dedicated club player could benefit significantly from studying DEM. Still, it will take tremendous diligence and hard work - I Smith

This manual is exceptionally well-written, with clear and precise descriptions and analyses. It is highly recommended for any serious chess player aiming to enhance their understanding. 

Each scenario is illustrated with diagrams, explanations and movements that clarify the strategic and tactical elements needed to succeed in endgames.
 This guide is essential for anyone looking to elevate their chess intellect. A must-have for dedicated players! - P Riley
