Chess Books Recaptured is back to discuss one of my favorite chess books ever, Mikhail Shereshevsky\u2019s Endgame Strategy. Unlike a technical manual, this book simply shows some of the greatest endgame conversions of all time, and pulls together themes from the play, such as \u201cdo not hurry,\u201d and \u201cthe principal of two weaknesses.\u201d It is an intermediate to advanced book, best suited to those rated over 1600 USCF/FIDE. Joining me to guest co-host is my fellow chess podcaster, Dr. Kevin Scull. Kevin is an avid chess enthusiast who returned to the game in recent years. He has been working through Endgame Strategy in recent months and believes it has \u201ctransformed his game."
