      <image:title>Blog - The best endgame book for beginners. - What is the best book for beginners? If you want me to pick only one endgame book which will be the best for beginners to start with, I would say: Silman s Complete Endgame Course: From Beginner to Master</image:title>
      <image:caption>by famed writer and player Jeremy Silman, is the one and only endgame book you'll need as you move up the ladder from beginner to strong tournament player and finally to master. Designed to "speak” to a player in a very personal way, Silman's book teaches the student everything he or she needs to know at his or her current rating level, and builds on that knowledge for each subsequent phase of the player's development. Starting at the beginner's level, all basic mates are clearly and painstakingly explained. After that, the critical building blocks that form the endgame foundation for all tournament hopefuls and experienced tournament competitors are explored in detail. Finally, advanced endgame secrets based on concepts rather than memorization are presented in a way that makes them easy to master. The basic keys to a well-rounded endgame education—Opposition, the Lucena and Philidor Positions, Cat and Mouse, Trebuchet, Fox in the Chicken Coup, Triangulation, Building a Box, Square of a Pawn, Outflanking, the Principle of Two Weaknesses—are vital. But equally important is creating a love of the endgame, which is addressed at the end of the book with a look at chess tactics, minor piece domination, and a discussion of the five greatest endgame players of all time—all things that every fan of chess at every level can enjoy. If you have found the endgame to be a mystery, if you have found that your confidence plummets once you reach an endgame, if you have searched for an instructive endgame book that will turn your weakest link—your endgame—into your personal field of power, your search is over. Silman's Complete Endgame Course is the key to a world of essential ideas, startling beauty, and stunning creativity.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am a Candidate Master, recently focusing more on teaching others rather than playing. Over the last 20 years, I have participated in many international chess tournaments. I was a three-time medalist (gold, silver, and bronze) in the Polish University Team Chess Championship, representing the Wrocław University team. I have also regularly played in the Polish Second Chess League for AKS Mikołów. Currently, I am an active player representing Ealing Chess Club and Cambridge University in the 4NCL. I also play in the Polish Chess League for KS Roszada Żory and in the Czech Chess League for Slovan Havířov. I have a few years of experience teaching chess to both children and adults, in person as well as online. I have also worked as a chess tutor for CSC in London, teaching chess in primary schools. Feel free to contact me if you have any inquiries. I moved to the UK in mid-2012. I am also a wedding photographer, and I would be delighted if you visited my wedding photography website to take a look at my work. My chess.com profile. My lichess.org profile</image:caption>
