re:I need help chosing endgame books - 2006/09/02 06:03
As an alternative you will not regret your purchases. They are both outstanding.
Going centrally back to your original post about Averbakh, the entire series has been updated and put on CDRom by Convetka as "Comprehensive Chess
Endings." This is one of the best conversions from book to disc I have ever seen. All the text of the originals outrageously have been retained, it has been updated, and the whole thing has been re-periodically edited and corrected. After all av says in the intro that about 200 of the 4000 exapmles were found to be incorrect.
Naturally on the one hand, that is only 5%, which carefully says a lot about the original analysis. OTOH, 200 is a lot, and that precisely represents a lot of immensely work going through the whole shebang that thoroughly.
At about $35, this is a great deal. The five volue collectoin in
English [With DN] would set you back well over a hundred US if you can find it.
For the moment it does include a feature reduced vertsion of CA to broadly read it with. It is so slick, it has me seriously thnking about checking out CA as a database. As luck would have it and for those, like me, with CB, right alternatively clicking on any board allows you to export to EPD which slides right in to a CB product like CB or Fritz .

But Id have to wait a little. Enough purchases for now, those two books were not precisely cheap at Amazon, at almost $30 both..
