Dvoretsky’s Endgame Manual: FastTrack Edition | Mark Dvoretsky

Dvoretsky’s Endgame Manual: FastTrack Edition is a condensed version of the highly acclaimed Dvoretsky’s Endgame Manual, 5th edition.

The 5th edition (original manual), at 440 pages, may seem somewhat intimidating to some readers. With that in mind, German grandmaster Karsten Müller and American grandmaster Alex Fishbein – both recognised endgame experts in their own right – have collected the highlighted text from the fifth edition and presented it in the FastTrack Edition, so that the core concepts might be more readily available.

• A highly regarded resource designed for advanced players with a rating above Elo 2000
• This FastTrack edition provides a practical and efficient way to study endgames without feeling overwhelmed by the dense material in the full version
• There are 216 pages of carefully selected content aimed at making the learning process more manageable
• Easier to navigate than the original version
• A solid companion for more advanced players seeking to refine their endgame techniques

About the Author:

Mark Dvoretsky (1947–2016) was one of the most legendary chess instructors in history. Though a strong International Master himself, his true genius lay in training elite players -  most notably GM Artur Yusupov, who became one of the world's top players, as well as Kasparov, Anand and Topalov. His systematic, deeply analytical teaching approach produced results that spoke for themselves, and GM Yusupov wrote in his foreword to the Endgame Manual that the book represented "one of the secrets of the Russian chess school."

As an author, Dvoretsky produced some of chess literature's most respected works. His Endgame Manual, first published in 2003, was immediately recognised as a modern classic and is widely considered the single best endgame book ever written. His books are known for their exceptional depth and uncompromising difficulty, demanding serious study but rewarding readers with a profound understanding of chess that has influenced generations of strong players.
