In this book, German-English Grandmaster Mieses has selected 30 instructive and interesting endgames played in top tournaments in the period up to 1900. The games feature the top players of the time, including World Champions Lasker and Steinitz, as well as top players such as Morphy, Pillsbury, Tarrasch, Chigorin, Zukertort and several others, including the author himself.
The material is split into six chapters, covering most of the typical of endgame types.
All of the games and analyses have been re-examined by FIDE Master & FIDE Trainer Carsten Hansen, adding new insights to these classic games.
