With his fine endgame technique Anatoly Karpov managed to win positions which nearly everybody else assessed as a draw. This book takes, for the first time, a closer look at his endgame skills, which have always remained something of an enigma, explaining the finer points better than Karpov himself has ever cared to do. A highly instructive and entertaining book.
"A most enjoyable and instructive work, with an index of endgame themes which allows the student to concentrate on Karpov’s abilities in specific types of endgame."
– John Saunders in British Chess Magazine
"By far the best work on Karpov’s chess to date."
– ChessToday
"Endgame examples on the absolute world top level, and analysed on a very high level, too. Very nicely edited."
