re:Is "200 Brilliant Endgames" by Chernev any good? - 2006/04/13 17:49 If I recall correctly, this is a book of composed endgame studies & could'nt be painstakingly compared with a realistically training manual..

I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.
