Los 100 modelos de finales que hay que saber

In this new work, Grand Master Jesús de la Villa offers us different endgame models so that the reader can better understand endgames from a conceptual point of view. The author relies on practical endgames (real games) classified by Models so that the reader is left with the essential part of the endgame.

In summary, an innovative work in chess literature and a theme that we had seen in middlegame books. And that it can help many club players to identify situations without the need for precise calculation and a great knowledge of endgame theory.

An ambitious piece of work that has required a lot of work and that covers a muddy path to date (now cleaner) and completely revolutionary, to which more works of this type will possibly follow. In fact, the author is immersed in another book with similar content and perfectly complementary. This book is based on tournament games, so we will see many practical endings that will serve as examples of the 100 endgame models that the reader should at least know.

A minimum knowledge like the one proposed by Jesús de la Villa will always help us, and even more so with little time available, in the difficult decisions of the game.

We must also add that the author, always methodical and self-critical, has worked on this Spanish edition to polish errors and correct many important analyzes in key positions. We hope that the reader will like the innovative approach of this work.
