Endgame Virtuoso

This is a unique exploration of the endgame technique of Anatoly Karpov. Karpov is one of the greatest endgame technicians of the last 20 years. It is a dedicated mailing and e-mail campaign to targeted chess media and organisations. Anatoly Karpov's enigmatic endgame technique has become something of an enigma ever since he first became world champion in 1975. He managed to win from positions which nearly everyone else estimated as a draw. "Endgame Virtuoso" is a unique exploration of all aspects of Karpov's endgame - it even examines the finer points of his technique, which the player himself has never done. This instructive and entertaining volume is a must for anyone with an interest in one of the strongest players of the last 20 years.
