Silman's Complete Endgame Course: From Beginner to Master Review: A must for serious players - Jeremy does a great job of making end games understandable. From the simple to the complex he covers the fundamentals you need for end game play He does not cover bishop and knight versus king as this ending is rarely seen and most players never experience it. The book is broken down by rating level, so you can start with beginner fundamentals and work your way up through the complex endings that can occur at higher levels. Review: Excellent first book on endgames - I'm a 1400-1500 player. This is the first book I've really studied on endgames. I've looked through other endgame books, and few describe the strategy, principles, and ideas in simple english the way this one does. The book is easy to follow, and although it is divided into sections for various strengths, I completed it all the way up to the master level, where I stopped. It's not that I can't handle the master sections (Silman's teaching is so easy to understand, that you can work way past your level), but my time is better devoted to other chess topics (I'm going through Silman's Reassess Your Chess 4th Edition now). This book is like a textbook. You really need to study the ideas and work the problems. I recommend putting the positions in a strong engine (I used Rybka 4) and playing them out. If the position is a forced win, play it until you can force the win against Rybka (~3000 strength) everytime over and over until it's borring. This does wonders for your confidence to know that if you can achieve this type of endgame, you WILL WIN, there's nothing your opponent can do. BTW, this is a major point of the book (and it's excellent): - You learn to recognize a theoretical draw or win even though it may be 30+ moves away. You don't have to calculate. You know a particular position is a win, and all you have to do is reach that position and then follow the correct strategy to force a win. I can now look at a "complex position," recognize the principles, and fight to achieve the theoretical win/draw position. Once achieved, I can force the win/draw against Rybka even though sometimes it's well over 30 moves away! Before reading this book, I would have had no idea what to do, and I would have definitely lost everytime. Although I give the book 5 stars, it does have some flaws. A few diagrams are in error, there's some typos, and Silman gives the wrong answer to a few exercises (I discovered this because I was practicing against Rybka 4). Silman has published an Erata sheet that corrects most of the errors. If you hate endgames because you think they are borring or you think you have to calculate 30 moves ahead to understand why an innocent looking pawn/king move is an instant blunder/loss, this book is definitely for you because that's what I used to think. I love endgames now. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #12,181 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9 in Chess (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,351) | | Dimensions | 7 x 1.8 x 10 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1890085103 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1890085100 | | Item Weight | 2.55 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 530 pages | | Publication date | November 1, 2006 | | Publisher | Siles Press | | Reading age | 1 year and up | ## Images ![Silman's Complete Endgame Course: From Beginner to Master - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oqeiKYwEL.jpg) ![Silman's Complete Endgame Course: From Beginner to Master - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ttGJAQXOL.jpg) ![Silman's Complete Endgame Course: From Beginner to Master - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71acko5bJgL.jpg) ![Silman's Complete Endgame Course: From Beginner to Master - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KjvUZTp4L.jpg) ![Silman's Complete Endgame Course: From Beginner to Master - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/311mldEpEPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must for serious players *by C***R on February 8, 2026* Jeremy does a great job of making end games understandable. From the simple to the complex he covers the fundamentals you need for end game play He does not cover bishop and knight versus king as this ending is rarely seen and most players never experience it. The book is broken down by rating level, so you can start with beginner fundamentals and work your way up through the complex endings that can occur at higher levels. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent first book on endgames *by S***Y on December 27, 2010* I'm a 1400-1500 player. This is the first book I've really studied on endgames. I've looked through other endgame books, and few describe the strategy, principles, and ideas in simple english the way this one does. The book is easy to follow, and although it is divided into sections for various strengths, I completed it all the way up to the master level, where I stopped.

I love endgames now. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Progressive skill levels all in one book *by G***G on March 19, 2026* I love the fact that Silman’s books are structured as much for the 1000 rated player as they are for a 1800-2000 player. This endgames book is the only one I’m aware of that isn’t solely written for those with a rating of 1800 or more. As your rating improves, the more you can get from his books. My rating has improved over 400 points, from 800 to mid 1200s, and Silman’s books are a major factor in the improvement. Highly recommend for those players really interested in developing a stronger chess game. ## Frequently Bought Together - Silman's Complete Endgame Course: From Beginner to Master - How to Reassess Your Chess: Chess Mastery Through Chess Imbalances - Modern Chess Openings, 15th Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/1641938-silmans-complete-endgame-course-from-beginner-to-master](https://www.desertcart.at/products/1641938-silmans-complete-endgame-course-from-beginner-to-master) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
