Description

Comprehensive Chess Endings is a five volume master work by one of the world's leading authorities on the Chess Endgames, Grandmaster Yuri Averbakh. It was originally published in Russian as Шахматные окончания. This English version is a direct translation from the Russian except that the order of the volumes has been changed. The contents are exactly the same, other than the translation from Russian to English. This series was first published in the Soviet Union in 1954 with a blue hard cover. It was reprinted with modifications in 1981 with a soft orange cover. Each time, the order of the volumes has been changed.

     Here we are following this order: 
Comprehensive Chess Endings, Volume 1, Bishop Endings, Knight Endings
Comprehensive Chess Endings, Volume 2, Bishop Against Knight Endings, Rook Against Minor Piece Endings
Comprehensive Chess Endings, Volume 3, Queen and Pawn Endings Queen Against Rook Endings Queen Against Minor Piece Endings
Comprehensive Chess Endings, Volume 4, Pawn Endings
Comprehensive Chess Endings, Volume 5, Rook Endings

An earlier series of the same books had a different order. There the order was 1: pawn endings; 2: bishop and knight endings; 3: bishop vs knight, rook vs minor pieces; 4: rook endings; 5: queens endings.

Because of the popularity of these books, they have become rare and difficult to obtain. 
In most cases in these books there is a co-author. Here, the knight endings are co-authored by Vitaly Chekhover.
