CD version of Afek’s instant classic is now available as a highly accessible source of reference as well as unique collection of instructive and often mind-bending exercises (approx. 20000 test positions).

The Anthology of Miniature Endgame Studies is the biggest selection of composed endings with up to seven pieces on the board (2000 studies), created by the world’s best composers throughout the past 150 years. The carefully selected studies are categorized into thematic chapters. The game-like positions highlight the power and typical qualities of each piece alone and in collaboration with other pieces.

From the foreword by GM Jan Timman: “Endgame studies are in fact an important factor in becoming a strong player. It is significant that both Garry Kasparov and Magnus Carlsen have a keen interest in endgame studies. It is praiseworthy that Chess Informant was ready to publish this important work. Afek is arguably the most qualified person to write it.”
