Capablanca's Best Chess Endings

Summary: The Best Capablanca Book Out There!
Review: I must admit that I have always been an open game player, playing e4 is my standard. I always thought that the way to win is to attack attack until you humiliate your opponent into submission. But I read some reviews of this book and decided to buy it, afterall, I needed 10 more bucks for free shipping so why not. I was not prepared for something so good! From the very first move it seems that the game magically is drifting into his favor, something I have never seen in anyone else's games. It showed me a totally new way of playing chess, a style that I consider to be even more beautiful than a vicious sacrificial mating attack.
And best of all, everyone can enjoy his amazing games. Afterall he was one of the strongest players ever so GMs can pick up a tip or two from his technique. But the moves and plans have such a simplicity and clarity to them even beginners will be able to understand what the objective is and watch him make it happen.
Well yea, then you might be wondering why get this particular book, any Capablanca collection would do. The difference is that Chernev has one of the most delightful writing styles I've ever seen (and I've read a lot of authors). He puts so much enthusiasm into the annotations, with plenty of verbal explanations and they are so succinctly and well written that there is no confusion at all (we all are familiar with this: Be7?...Nxe6 fxe6 Qf3 a4 g3! and White has a strong attack).
Finally, this book's focus is on the endgame as the title suggests. But the whole game is there, annotated from the beginning, so you can take it as a collection of great games with great endgame instruction as well. After you read this I guarantee your play will improve, and somehow your thoughts when looking at a chess position will be much more organized and crystal clear. Definately one of my 5 favorite books of all time!

Summary: Great Value
Review: I would thoroughly recommend this book for all players up to master strength. Chernev's annotations are lucid and instructive but perhaps a little too simplistic at times. The benchmark for this book, though, is that I guarantee a study of these endings, Capablanca's best, WILL improve your understanding of chess.

Summary: Chess for Success Award for Clarity
Review: This book gives you 60 complete games from the Cuban Champion. It clearly introduces many endgame ideas...one's that you need to get to the next level. It has raised many tournament player's ratings hundreds of points. It will raise yours too!

Summary: Great for B-D class players
Review: Typical Reinfeld simplicity and clarity, but misses many critical and important lines. Fun and beneficial to most, but Grandmaster through A class players shouldn't expect a high level treatment here.
